Holy One, have mercy.
Oh God, you call us to create community with friends and strangers
to prepare the way your Kin-dom,
but fear too often keeps us sheltered, cut-off, safe.
Christ, have mercy.
Oh God, you call us to be full of joyful confidence
to prepare the way for your Kin-dom,
but anxious doubt often burdens us and blocks our witness to your good news.
Holy One, have mercy.
(a moment of silent prayer)
Forgive us, O God, and lead us in the ways of courage, community and joy.
Song verse 2
Assurance of Grace
Hear the good news: Jesus, savior from sin, is present with us in the painstaking work of the Reign of God, forgiving our weakness, rebuilding our relationships, restoring our joy.
