WE GATHER
Prelude
Welcome and Announcements
Confessions and Forgiveness
Blessed be the holy Trinity+ one God,
who stretches out the heavens,
who sends light to the nations,
who gives breath to us all. Amen
Let us confess our sin
In the presence of God and of one another.
Loving God,
We confess that we have turned from your way to follow our own ways.
Forgives for the times
We have spoken or acted too quickly;
We have not spoken or acted at all
We have hurt those closest to us;
We have thought more about ourselves than we ought. Turn us around, and give us a fresh start, so that we can live again as your children. Amen
Even when we have done wrong, God makes us right. Even when we have messed up, God puts us together. God’s love never runs out. God never tires of calling is beloved children.
Hear God say to you now:
Your sins are forgiven, for the sake of +Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen

Gospels for the next 4 weeks:
2/12 Matthew 5:21-37 Jesus exhorts his followers to embrace standards of righteousness that exceed legal requirements and traditional expectations.
2/19 Matthew 5:38-48 Jesus Christ is the foundation of the church and its ministry. We are God’s temple because God’s Spirit dwells in us, and we belong to Christ. Hence we are called to build wisely upon this foundation not for our own benefit but for others to experience Christ’s benefits
2/26 Matthew 17:1-9 Shortly before he enters Jerusalem, where he will be crucified, Jesus is revealed to his disciples in a mountaintop experience of divine glory called the transfiguration.
