2.15.26 - Short North Sunday Gathering Liturgy

Leader: You, Wounded Healer, have become the antidote to the poisons in our hearts– unforgiveness, bitterness, anger, and hidden sins. Where toxins have infected our relationships with our brother or sister or Lord, we look to you for healing.

Congregation: In your radical grace, we are empowered to extend grace radically.
In your complete forgiveness, we are challenged to forgive completely.
In your costly love, we are invited to love others extravagantly.

Leader: We stand securely on you, our Firm Foundation.

Congregation: We ask for your help, Lord, to do what we otherwise could not. Be our help and peace, we pray.
Amen.

Leader: May the grace of Christ, which daily renews us,
and the love of God, which enables us to love all, 
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, which unites us in one body, 
make us eager to obey the will of God, to live in his grace and presence, 
until we meet again. 
Go with confidence in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ 
Peace be with you. 

— Based on 2 Corinthians 13:13

Congregation: And also with you!
