PRAYERS FOR WORSHIP March 3, 2013
Greeting
Come, at Christ’s invitation,
all you who have sinned and need to be forgiven;
all you who hunger for New Life and need to be nourished;
all you who accept God’s abundance and need to give thanks;
all you who experience God’s Love and need to give praise.

Penitential Prayer
In many ways, Lord, we have been like the people of Israel, wandering in the wilderness.
Even though our diet is far more opulent than the manna and quail of the people of Israel, we too have grumbled.
Even though our homes are far more elaborate than their tattered tents, we too have complained.
Even though we have received the inner power of the Holy Spirit, we too are filled with fear.
So we offer no excuses. We can only lay hold on Your Grace, repent, and ask forgiveness for our sins.

Blessing
