West Sunday Gathering Liturgy - January 18,

Carry Sunday with you into your week by pausing to reflect on the readings, prayers, and songs we shared in together as the body of Christ.
CALL TO WORSHIP

CONFESSION/ASSURANCE

COMMITMENT
Leader: Oh God, whose will is justice for the poor and peace for the afflicted, let your voice pierce our hardened hearts and announce that your kingdom is here on earth as it is in heaven.
Congregation: Let our complacency give way to conversion, oppression to justice, and conflict to acceptance of one another in Christ. We ask this through him whose return is certain: Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.
