Lent 2A

The flowers gracing the altar are given to the glory of God and in memory of Joseph Giannini, brother and uncle of Rose and Susan.

We welcome in a spirit of silence as the prelude begins our service.

OUR APPROACH TO GOD
Prelude
Introit "This is the Day"

Welcome

Call to Worship: Psalm 22:22, 23
I will tell of your name to my brothers and sisters;
IN THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION WE WILL PRAISE YOU!
You who fear the Lord: praise God!
ALL YOU OFFSPRING OF JACOB, GLORIFY GOD! STAND IN AWE OF GOD, ALL YOU OFFSPRING OF ISRAEL!

*Hymn 34 "The God of Abraham Praise"

Let us be before our God in silence.

Unison Prayer: Psalm 22
O LORD, DO NOT BE FAR AWAY. COME QUICKLY TO MY AID! I AM POURED OUT LIKE WATER, ALL MY BONES ARE OUT OF JOINT. MY HEART IS LIKE WAX; IT IS MELTED WITHIN MY BREAST. DELIVER MY SOUL...SAVE ME FROM THE MOUTH OF THE LION.

Kyrie (sung)
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.
CHRIST, HAVE MERCY ON US.
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.

A Word of Assurance:

The Summary of the Law (Mark 12:29b-31)
This is the first commandment:
HEAR O ISRAEL,
THE LORD OUR GOD,
THE LORD IS ONE!
THEREFORE YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD
WITH ALL YOUR HEART,
WITH ALL YOUR SOUL,
WITH ALL YOUR MIND,
AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.
This is the second commandment:
YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
There is no greater commandment than these.
