Affirmation of FaithWe believe in a God who is everywhere and right here,Bigger than the sky and in the smallest details,All at once and in every moment.We believe that God meets us where we are—In heartbreak and high hopes,Around crowded tables and in quiet homes,In joy and in suffering,In loneliness and in connection,In sanctuaries and in living rooms,In marches and in waiting rooms.We believe that nothing we do or leave undoneCan distance us from God’s love.God is forever drawing us close and pulling us in.Again and again, God meets us where we areAnd invites us into wholeness.Thanks be to God for a love like that.Sunday, February 21, 2021

4When I Survey the Wondrous CrossWhen I survey the wondrous crossOn which the Prince of Glory diedMy richest gain I count but lossAnd pour contempt on all my prideSee from His head His hands His feetSorrow and love flow mingled downDid e'er such love and sorrow meetOr thorns compose so rich a crownO the wonderful crossO the wonderful crossBids me come and die and findThat I may truly liveO the wonderful crossO the wonderful crossAll who gather here by graceDraw near and bless Your nameWere the whole realm of nature mineThat were an offering far too smallLove so amazing so divineDemands my soul my life my allO the wonderful crossO the wonderful crossBids me come and die and findThat I may truly liveO the wonderful crossO the wonderful crossAll who gather here by graceDraw near and bless Your nameCCLI Song # 3148435Chris Tomlin Isaac Watts J.

7Prayer of ConfessionOne: God who meets us where we are— there is nowhere we can go that you arenot.All:You were with Jesus at his baptism. You were with him in thewilderness, and even in between, you were there, saying aloud, “Thisis my beloved.”One: We know that you are with us too— In the good, the bad, and everything inbetween— But so often we act like we are alone.All:Instead of coming to you with our hurt, we hold it in or cast it ontoothers. Instead of coming to you with our joy, we credit ourselves andoffer you nothing.One: How can we long for a deeper relationship with you while living like you arenowhere to be found?All:Forgive our self-centered ways. Remind us that in every breath, inevery step, you are there.One: You are the God who meets us where we are.All:Before and behind, above and below, within and around. Amen.
