Third Sunday of Lent
Prelude
Approach
Introit: Nearer my God, to thee, nearer to
thee!
E’en though it be a cross that
raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,
nearer my God to thee,
Nearer, my God to thee, nearer to thee! (#497v.1)
Call to
Worship: L: Sometimes, O God, we come thirsting for your
presence.
P: Be with us this day, O God.
L: Sometimes we come seeking your Spirit, O
God.
P: Fill us and renew us this day, O God.
L: Let the worship that we offer, the prayers
and the praise we raise up to you this day,
P: Bring us nearer and closer to you, O
God.
L: Now seeking God’s spirit and God’s presence,
P: Let us worship our God together.
Hymn Come
Let Us Sing 222
Prayer: O God we confess that sometimes when we come
to worship, we do not really expect to encounter or experience your
presence. We may not come prepared to
hear the word you are speaking to us this day.
We may not be ready to be challenged and changed by your call and your
grace. Prepare us, O God, we pray, in
heart and mind that we may be ready to worship you in spirit and in truth. We pray in the name of our Saviour, Jesus the
Christ. Amen.
