Prelude
How Great Thou Art (77)
Call To Worship
L: How lovely is Your dwelling place, Lord Almighty!
C: My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord;
L: My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
C: Better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere.
L: I would rather be the doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
C: Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; they are ever praising You.
Unison Prayer
God, our souls magnify You, and our spirit rejoices in You, our Savior, for You have looked on the humble estate of Your servant. You, who is mighty have done great things for each of us. Holy is Your name. And Your mercy is for those who fear You from generation to generation. We have come to worship You as one who gives us purpose for our lives. In Your Son’s name. Amen.

*Scripture
Ephesians 3:16-21, 5:15-16 (NIV)
16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
15 Be very careful, then, how you live - not as unwise but as wise,
16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

Prayer Of Confession
God of infinite patience and love, we come to You this day, having just gone through the season of greed. We embark on this Lenten journey not sure if we want to make the spiritual trip. It is easy for us to get caught up in our own needs and our own anxieties. We are a people of great want, and we need to become a people of great faith. Stop us and remove us from the self-destructive journey on which we were living. Place us on Your track of hope and salvation. Forgive our stubbornness, and heal our sorrowful souls. For we ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Thank You for Your Son Jesus Christ, our Savior, and for the Holy Spirit, whose presence here unites us as Your people. Fill us with Your peace today. Amen.
