Gathered by God

Prelude

Welcome and Announcements

Call to Worship

All:           Welcome Lent—

One:        terrible dissonance,

                  as we condemn the Human One.

All:           Welcome lament and confession

One:        as the story comes undone.

All:           Welcome holy mystery

One:        that even this can find a place

                  in the tale of God’s salvation.

All:           Welcome suffering love and grace.
