Call to Worship
A shoot shall come forth from Jesse’s stump,
And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him.
He will judge the poor with righteousness, and the meek with equity;
He will be clothed with righteousness and faithfulness.
The wolf and the lamb will live peacefully together,
The leopard and the kid will lie down side by side.
The cow and the bear will graze together; the lion will eat straw like the ox,
And a little child will lead them all.
They will neither hurt nor destroy on God’s holy mountain,
For the earth will be full of the knowledge of God, as the waters fill the sea.

Prayer of Confession
God of Grace, we confess that we are not ready for you to come
into our world — not quite yet. We cling to the known and familiar, afraid of the
transformation your grace will bring. Yet you are always a step ahead of us,
a voice crying out in the wilderness, inviting us into to bold new ways of being disciples.
Humble us, O God, and teach us to do the work of repentance so that, fully reliant on
your grace, we may know the richness of restored relationship with you and one another. Amen.

Assurance of Pardon
Friends, hear the good news: God’s mercy is from everlasting to everlasting.
Before we repent and change our ways, God’s love has already
claimed us as God’s own. Proclaim with me the good news of the gospel:
In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! Thanks be to God!
