Fifth Sunday in Lent
Call to Worship
This is the fifth step on our Lenten journey, the step of sacrifice.
Be with us, Lord, as we take this step.
This requires the willingness to give all of your life to the Lord.
Be with us, Lord, as we commit our lives to you.
Come, let us worship and offer our voices of praise to God.
Let us open our hearts and spirits to God this day.
AMEN.

Prayer of Confession and Announcement of Pardon
Prayers of Confession, Announcement of Pardon, and the Lord’s Prayer
Understanding Lord, we confess that we have often been afraid to let go, to have our old life die so we may have the new one you desire for us. Forgive us, we pray, for our lack of faith. Help us to keep our eyes on you, and see that the way of the cross is the only way of life.
(Silent prayers of personal confession)
Words of Assurance (from 1 John 1:9)
Hear the good news: if we confess our sin, God will be faithful and just and forgive us of all our sin. In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God.
