Narrative Lectionary Year 4, Week 4
Exodus 2:23-3:15, 4:10-17
John 8:58
this post has fewer resources as I used prayers published by the UMC for World Communion Sunday. 2021_wcs_liturgy.ashx (resourceumc.org)
Prayer of Preparation
God who is I
AM: we are here on holy ground. May the
things we hear today be as clear to us as the voice that spoke to Moses from
the burning bush so that we may know what you desire from us as we follow
you. Amen.
Intercessory Prayer
God of Abraham, God
of Isaac, God of Jacob: you sent your servant Moses when you saw the misery of
your people in Egypt, when you heard them crying out because of their slave
drivers, when you were concerned about their suffering. We ask now that you would see the misery of
your people in this time, that you would hear the cries of the people today,
and that you would be concerned about the suffering we bring now before
you. Suffering that is caused when
people hurt others, suffering that is caused when nations fight against other
nations, suffering that is caused when people are ill and when they die, suffering
that is caused by our sins and the sins of others. We know you hear and we know you are
aware. We know that the day will come
when you will return and make this world new.
We know that you sent your Son to alleviate this suffering and we give
you thanks in His holy name as we pray His prayer. Our Father… Amen.
Benediction
The Lord has
promised to be with us as we go to His children.
Go with the message of Good News that He gives to the world.
The message of
Love, Grace, and Unity in Father, Son & Spirit.
Amen.
