SERVICE OF THE TABLE
INVITATION
God calls us to serve and invites us to give. Knowing that God will be guiding us, and that God will be leading us, let us claim the generosity of God. In our celebration of this bounty, we share our treasures, talents, and time with the church and community.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION AND PARDON (All Together)
Holy Creator, we have refused to give our neighbors the honor they deserve. We have rejected others, as Jesus was rejected before us. We choose chaos over kindness, and disconnection over spiritual bonds. May our hearts repent, returning to your voice. May our souls reconnect, returning to our neighbor. May our minds renew, returning to the ones you created us to be. May your grace abound. Amen
Silent prayer
Pastor: God’s Spirit is with us, embracing us with forgiveness and grace, abiding in us with the power of love for all…you are forgiven.
People: In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.
All: Glory be to God. Amen.
