Leader: God, we turn to You. We shift the direction of our cries from those around us, to the God of the universe, who knows and cares for us in our pain.

Congregation: How long, O Lord?

Take a moment to orient your heart and prayers to God.

Leader: Father, we bring our grief to You. When sorrow arises, it can feel as though you have left us. Help us to be honest in our grievances towards You.

Congregation: How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart…?

Take a moment to cry out your complaints to God.

Leader: Father, hear the cries of Your sons and daughters. Turn Your ear to us, for You are the source of comfort, hope and help. Remind us of your promises. Remind us of Your character. Remind us of the Cross.

Congregation: Consider and answer me, O Lord my God
Take a moment to pray what you know about the character and promises of God, revealed through Christ.

Leader: Father, even if the answer to our prayer is unknown, we know You are trustworthy, whatever the circumstance. Help us to praise You, even when the answer doesn’t come. Even when the hurt remains, we know You have not forsaken us, and we will declare Your name in every season.

Congregation: I have trusted in Your steadfast love;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.

Congregation: Father, we offer you all that we have: our talents, our passions, our personalities, our joys and our sorrows. We give you even our brokenness and our doubts of which we are also stewards.

Leader: We lay our incomplete and insufficient offerings at your feet, remembering that twice you blessed inadequate offerings, fashioning them into miraculous feasts that would sustain crowds in their hard journeys.

We pray that you would likewise receive and bless and multiply our own meager gifts, Jesus, for the benefit of all who you’ve called for us to love this week. Let these humble elements, in your hands, become a true nourishment for those who hunger for you.
And for those who have not yet wakened to their deepest hungers, let our brief time with them be like the opening of a window through which the breezes of a far country might blow, stirring their eternal longings to life.

Congregation: Take this tiny heap of our talents and brokenness alike, this jumble of what is best and worst in us, and meld it to the greater work of your Spirit, using each facet as you will,

so that, even as sunlight coursing through a cracked prism, your grace might somehow be revealed in this city in whatever gloried and peculiar patterns you have fashioned for us to display.

Amen.

- From Every Moment Holy

Leader: Church, fix your eyes upon the things that are eternal, and let the transient be left behind. May God give you strength to love and serve those around you this week in the midst of your own joys and sorrows.

Peace be with you!

Congregation: We come in the name of Christ, drawn by your Spirit, eager to hear your Word. Fill our hearts with your Spirit and prepare us for faithful service.

Leader: A reading from Psalm 16: Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you. I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord; I have nothing good besides you."

Congregation: The sorrows of those who take another god for themselves will multiply.  Lord, you are my portion and my cup of blessing; you hold my future.

Leader: Please read this prayer of commitment together:

Congregation: Lord Jesus Christ, we come to you sharing the suffering that you endured. Grant us patience to live with pain, frustration and disappointment, and renew our hope in you when we are weary.

This playlist is updated each week with songs from the previous Sunday's Gathering:

Leader: Jesus, in the already - not yet, we lament the brokenness of this world. When we are weary, we know that you provide rest for our souls. May we look to you in the midst of each day and remember the hope that we have in you that one day you will wipe every tear from our eyes and pain and suffering will be no more.

Congregation: Come, Lord Jesus. We long for your kingdom to come.

Leader: Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—let us hold fast to our confession.

Congregation: For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need.

- Hebrews 4:14-16

Leader: Do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away,
inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
For though your heart may fail, God remains your strength—
your portion forever in Christ.
And even now, he is preparing a glory
that far outweighs it all.
So lift your eyes to what is unseen, and go in hope.
Peace be with you.

Congregation: And also with you!

Easter Hymn Medley

Leader: Alleluia! Christ is risen!

Congregation: Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and may have it to the full." Christ, our Passover Lamb, is sacrificed for us; therefore let us keep the feast. Christ is risen indeed! Alleluia!

Leader: Almighty God, in raising Jesus from the grave, you shattered the power of sin and death. We confess that we remain captive to doubt and fear, bound by the ways that lead to death.

Congregation: We overlook the poor and hungry and pass by those who mourn; we are deaf to the cries of the oppressed and indifferent to calls for peace. We sit in self-pity and fear, unwilling to put others before ourselves.

Leader: Forgive us, God of mercy. Help us to trust your power that overcame death on the cross and is fully able to transform our lives and our world for your glory.

Congregation: This is the good news: the grave is empty! Christ has risen! Christ has overcome all sin and darkness. Alleluia!

Leader: This is the good news that we have received, in which we stand, and by which we are saved:

Congregation: Christ died for our sins, was buried, was raised on the third day, and appeared first to the women, then to the apostles, and then to many faithful witnesses. We believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, the firstborn of all creation, in whom all things hold together, in whom the fullness of God was pleased to dwell by the power of the Spirit. Christ is the head of the church, and by the blood of the cross he reconciles all things to God. Christ has died, Christ has risen, and Christ will come again! Amen.

Leader: We declare with joy and trust that Christ is risen. We declare with joy and trust that Christ has conquered sin and death. We declare with joy and trust that Christ is Lord of all creation and Lord of new life. We declare with joy and trust that Christ, our risen Lord, is coming again and that we shall see the salvation of our God. Peace be with you!

Congregation: And also with you!

Because He lives, we look for eternal life, knowing that nothing past, present, or yet to come can separate us from Your great love made known in Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

— A prayer from the Common Book of Worship

Leader: Go now with hearts full of joy, for Christ is risen—just as He said.
Like the women at the tomb, may we run with reverent awe to share the good news: Jesus is alive!

May the risen Lord go before us, filling us with courage, peace, and resurrection hope, and may His presence be our constant joy, now and forevermore.

Jesus Paid It All
For the Cross
The Anthem

This playlist is updated each week with songs from the previous Sunday's Gathering:

Leader: who, though rich, became poor and dwelt among us;
who healed the broken and walked as a teacher, servant and friend;
who prayed for those who rejected him and loved even those who denied him; who bore our sin and humbled himself to the point of the cross.

Congregation: Therefore God has exalted him—
the One who has redeemed us from sin and given us freedom.
May we live in grateful remembrance of all Christ has done and continues to do for us. Amen.

- Based on a reading from the Worship Sourcebook

Congregation: We confess that we have gone astray, choosing our own ways over Yours, Lord.

Leader: Jesus, who knew no sin, on this Good Friday, took on our sickness and endured the torment of our sufferings to become sin for us.
Jesus, our Shepherd King, stood silent, led like a gentle lamb to the slaughter, bearing the punishment for our sin.

Jesus, our Emmanuel, surrendered himself to the Father’s will so that by his sacrifice we would be made completely whole.

Congregation: Jesus, we thank you that you bore our sins in your body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By your wounds we are healed.

- Based on Isaiah 53, 2 Corinthians 5:21 and 1 Peter 2:24

Leader: Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest! Recall the words of the Scriptures:

Congregation: "A great crowd who had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming. So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying, 'Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!'"
 
Leader: In praise we adore you, King Jesus. Enter our hearts today as you entered Jerusalem long ago, and lead us by faith in the way everlasting.

- Based on John 12

Leader: Like the people who greeted Jesus as he entered Jerusalem and then later pronounced "Crucify him," we are fickle people who often deny Christ in our thoughts, words and deeds.

Congregation: Remembering the events of Jesus' last week, may we see ourselves for what we are: sinners in need of a Savior... a Savior we have in Christ. In honesty and hope, we confess our sins to God and ask for his forgiveness.

Leader: We are jars of clay, easily broken, carrying the death of Jesus in our bodies, unworthy to contain the treasure of the gospel. But thanks be to God, who turns death into life through His Son Jesus.
Congregation: Thanks be to God, who redeems our brokenness and suffering so that Jesus's life is displayed in our lives. Thanks be to God that he chooses to work in our fragile lives to display the beauty of his good news. May we have eyes to see how God is redeeming the world through us, to his glory.

Leader: As you go through this holy week leading to the great celebration of Easter, may you remember what Christ has done for you. And may our Lord, whose arms were spread on the cross to embrace the whole world, help us this week to take up the cross and follow him. Peace be with you!

Congregation: And also with you!

Leader: Lord, we turn to you today in repentance and faith. Holy Spirit, transform our hearts that we might imitate our Savior Jesus.

Leader: The message of truth we believe and communicate to the world is not about ourselves, but about Jesus Christ.

Congregation: Let us commit to be God's messengers, allowing him to fill our lives with his light. Let us commit to spend our days gazing at Christ, who is the perfect image of God. Let us commit to allow the Holy Spirit to transform us into the image of Christ. And let us commit to take the message of mercy to a world in need. 

Leader: May your lives fill up with the light of mercy and truth as you reflect Christ in you, the hope of glory. May you see God in the face of Christ, who is the best picture of God we'll ever get. Peace be with you!

Keep our feet firmly in the way

- Based on John 4:24; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21

Leader: Through God's law, we become aware of our sin. Through God's law, we become aware that we are powerless to save ourselves.

Congregation: But what the law was powerless to do was save us. Thanks be to God, who sent his own son in our likeness so that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled through him.

Leader: Let us look to Jesus, confessing our sin and receiving his covering of grace. He will not forsake us but will restore us.

Leader: Lord, your word today told us that when we turn to you, you remove the veil over our hearts that keeps us from seeing you as clearly as we ought to.

Congregation: When we turn to you, your Spirit removes the veil so that we can behold your glory. When we turn to you, you transform us more fully into your image. Help us to never take this grace for granted. Help us fix our gaze on you.

Leader: May you go from here in the righteousness and life that the Spirit gives as he transforms you from glory to glory. May you celebrate the freedom that comes from walking with Christ. Peace be with you!

Before the Throne of God Above
How Great Thou Art

This playlist is updated each week with songs from the previous Sunday's Gathering:

Leader: “To whom will you compare me?
    Who is my equal?” asks the Holy One.
Look up into the heavens.
    Who created all the stars?
He brings them out like an army, one after another,
    calling each by its name.
Because of his great power and incomparable strength,
    not a single one is missing.

Congregation: Have you never heard?
    Have you never understood?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.
    No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
He gives power to the weak
    and strength to the powerless.
Even youths will become weak and tired,
    and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
    They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
    They will walk and not faint.

Poem for quiet reflection:

In your deep silence and your mystery
You led me to confess and be forgiven.
You gave me the relief of honesty.
How long and bitterly I might have striven
With all the guilt that I could hardly name
How painfully my heart might have been riven
By hidden memories and secret shame
Instead you blessed me with a new beginning
Unbound me from bands and brands of blame
My false accounts of losing or of winning
And called me to come forth like Lazarus
And start my life again, rejoicing, singing
Baptised and born in your mysterious
And all-involving love, a love that lifts,
A love that comforts and embraces us.

- XXXII Beati, quorum by Malcolm Guite

Goodness of God

This playlist is updated each week with songs from the previous Sunday's Gathering:

Leader: There are days when we come into worship full of faith and confidence, and there are days when we come full of doubts and fears, forgetting that God is good and that he loves us.

Congregation: Today, let us come together as one community, proclaiming God's goodness and remembering his mercy. As we listen to the voices around us singing of God's faithfulness, may we be strengthened beyond what we understand. In this day of celebration, let us  give praise and glory to our great God above all else.

Leader: So often, we struggle to sense God's presence and to believe he is real and actively transforming us. We struggle to trust him and seek his face. We go our own way rather than obey him. We believe the lie that success comes from our own strength and self-reliance.

Congregation: God, we believe in you; help us in our unbelief! Help us refuse to become indifferent toward you.  Give us strength to repent, and in your grace, produce the fruit of faith in us. Thank you that you have promised to never leave our side.

Congregation: God, we ask that You would continue to give us the assurance and conviction of faith in You. Help us be able to say, "I do not always see how things will work out, but I will walk toward You anyway." Give us the courage to trust You. We commit our lives to You and we believe that You are writing a good story in each of us. In Jesus' name, amen,
 

Leader: Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever, Amen. Peace be with you!

Congregation: And also with you!

This playlist is updated each week with songs from the previous Sunday's Gathering:

Leader: Let us join our voices to praise the Lamb, Jesus Christ, who has redeemed us from sin and death.

Congregation: We, whom he has redeemed, will sing praises and shout for joy this hour, because in Christ the Lamb we have redemption through his blood. Worthy is the Lamb to receive power and wisdom and glory and praise!

Leader: God, we are called to be an example of your love to each other and to the world around us, but so often we misrepresent you to a watching world.

Congregation: Forgive us for the ways we don't bear your name and reflect your glory. Thank you that in your mercy you call us the fragrance of Christ to our brothers and sisters and to those who don't yet believe. Help us to be an aroma of life leading to life. 

Leader: God, our heavenly Father, you've given us the privilege to be called to share in the loving, healing, and reconciling mission of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Congregation: Since without you we can do nothing, may your Spirit make us wise; may your Spirit guide us, may your Spirit renew us, may your Spirit strengthen us, so that we may be an acceptable sacrifice to you, and the aroma of life to those around us.

Leader: May Jesus, who received the Spirit and manifested the Father, abide in you and make you an aroma of his life. May he empower you to live a life worthy of your calling. Peace be with you!

Congregation: And also with you!

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Jesus' Name

Be Thou My Vision
Yes and Amen

This playlist is updated each week with songs from the previous Sunday's Gathering:

Leader: And so are we gathered here,
uniquely in all of history, we particular people
in this singular time and place.

Congregation: Accomplish your purposes among us, O God.

Leader: Tune our hearts to the voice of your Spirit.

Congregation: Wake us to be present to you and to one another
in this shared time we’ve been given.

Leader: For it is you, O Lord, who have so
gathered us from our various places,

Congregation: And you alone who know our hearts and our needs.

Leader: Among us are some who arrive anxious, some
who are lonely, some who suffer pain or sorrow.

Congregation: May we in our joys find grace to enter the
sorrows of others.

Leader: Among us are some who arrive rejoicing,
hearts made light by good news,
good health, and glad anticipation.

Congregation: May we in our sorrows
find grace to embrace the joys of others.

Leader: Let us prize these moments and care for one
another deeply—for each of us, and our
relationships to one another, are precious and
fleeting.

Congregation: Breathe upon our gathering, Spirit of God

Leader: Grant each of us, a place to humbly
receive and to faithfully serve that we might
know in this brief gathering a foretaste of that
greater communion yet to come

Congregation: Oh Father, enlarge our hearts
Oh Spirit, expand our vision
Oh Christ, establish your kingdom among us.

Leader: Be at work even now oh Lord,
may your will in us in these hours be accomplished

Congregation: Amen

Leader: Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting

Congregation: Dust returns to dust,
Everything we have put our trust in, apart from You,
Has been revealed as meaningless vapor.

Search us, O God, and fix our eyes on Jesus.

Psalms 139:23-24

Leader: May the aroma of Christ be upon you as you go from this place. May His grace and forgiveness infiltrate every aspect of your life this week, as you love those God places in our path.

Congregation: And also with you!

All Creatures
Brokenness Aside
Day by Day
I Will Follow
Build My Life

This playlist is updated each week with songs from the previous Sunday's Gathering:

Congregation: Most merciful God
whose Son, Jesus Christ, was tempted in every way, yet was without sin,
we confess before you our own sinfulness;
we have hungered after that which does not satisfy;
we have compromised with evil;
we have doubted your power to protect us.
Forgive our lack of faith; have mercy on our weakness.
Restore in us such trust and love that we may walk in your ways and delight in
doing your will. Amen.

- The Worship Sourcebook

Congregation: O God, in whom is the well of living waters,
O God, in whose light we see light,
increase in us the brightness of your knowledge, illuminating the path to your flowing fountain– there impart to our thirsting souls the water of life, and restore to our darkened minds the light from heaven.

- A Mozarabic prayer from Prayers Ancient and Modern (1900)

Leader: You are the aroma of Christ—
a sign of life in a weary world.
Go in His strength,
and bear witness to His grace.
Peace be with you.

Congregation: And also with you!

Worthy of It All // Jesus Is
All I Want is You (Te Anhelo)
Blood of Jesus // Nothing but the Blood
Establish the Work of Our Hands

This playlist is updated each week with songs from the previous Sunday's Gathering:

Leader: It is good to praise the Lord and to make music to your name, O Most High. Your constant love reaches to the heavens, and your faithfulness extends to the skies. You make me glad by your deeds, O Lord; You are exalted forever.

- From Psalm 36, 92

Leader: Jesus, you are our example of love and forgiveness. You receive us with love and mercy when we turn to you. Yet so often we fail to offer your love and forgiveness to those around us.

Congregation: Help us love others as you have loved us. Help us forgive others as you have forgiven us. Let us not keep the gift of forgiveness to ourselves. Open our hearts to those we have closed ourselves off from. Teach us to love as you love.

Leader: God of compassion, through your Son, Jesus Christ, you reconciled your people to yourself.

Congregation: Following his example of love and forgiveness, may we obey you with willing hearts and serve one another in holy love through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Leader: Brothers and sisters, let us claim the freedom Christ gives us by his self-giving on the cross. May he enable you to serve together in faith, hope, and love. Go in peace and serve the Lord. Peace be with you!

Congregation: And also with you!

Before The Throne of God Above
Jesus At The Center
Jesus Paid It All

This playlist is updated each week with songs from the previous Sunday's Gathering:

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!
