Prayer of Confession

Sometimes, our sins are too heavy to carry, too real to hide, and too deep to undo. But Jesus said, “My yoke is easy and my burden is light. ” Let us bring to God in prayer our burden of sin and our yoke of guilt, confident and trusting in the Spirit of grace.

God, You have promised that we will live in peace. You have promised that in your house nothing harmful will happen. But in our world many people are hurting. Sometimes we hurt other people and other creatures. Sometimes not us but others commit violence. Sometimes we ourselves are hurt. Help us to make a world of peace where all life is respected and treated with dignity. We pray in Jesus name… Help (Silence).

God the Creator brings you new life, forgives and redeems you. Take hold of this forgiveness, and live your life in the spirit of Jesus. Amen

The Word is Spoken Scripture Isaiah 11: 1 -9 이희전

Scripture Isaiah 11: 1 -9 1 Like a branch that sprouts from a stump, someone from David's family will someday be king. 2 The Spirit of the LORD will be with him to give him understanding, wisdom, and insight. He will be powerful, and he will know and honor the LORD. 3 His greatest joy will be to obey the LORD. This king won't judge by appearances or listen to rumors 4 The poor and the needy will be treated with fairness and with justice. His word will be law everywhere in the land, and criminals will be put to death. 5 Honesty and fairness will be his royal robes.

6 Leopards will lie down with young goats, and wolves will rest with lambs. Calves and lions will eat together and be cared for by little children. 7 Cows and bears will share the same pasture; their young will rest side by side. Lions and oxen will both eat straw. 8 Little children will play near snake holes. They will stick their hands into dens of poisonous snakes and never be hurt. 9 Nothing harmful will take place on the LORD's holy mountain. Just as water fills the sea, the land will be filled with people who know and honor the LORD.

Question: Why do we give thanks and praise at this table?

We give thanks because God is always with us. We thank you, God, Creator of us all; from the beginning you made the world and all its creatures. You made people to live for you and for one another. We praise you, O God.

Yet, even they turned away from you and forgot about you, as we do too.

But you did not forget. You sent Jesus to the world to show much you love us and to bring us back to you again.

We praise you, O God.

(Singing together) Halleluyah!

He came as one of us, first an infant, then a child,

later a youth, then an adult.

He rejoiced with those who rejoiced, and wept with those who wept. To the despairing, he spoke a word of hope. To the sick, he gave healing. To the hurting, he was a friend.

Still, people turned away from you. They betrayed Jesus and nailed him to a cross.

But he was lifted from the grave and restored to life, that he might be with us and we with him, alive for evermore! Therefore with all the saints of every time and place, we join the angels in their praise:

(Singing together) Holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory.

We remember Jesus’ death and celebrate his resurrection; we await with hope his coming again to bring peace and justice to the earth; and we proclaim the mystery of our faith:

Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again. X 2

Question: For whom do we pray at this table?

We pray for God’s world. .

Send, O God, your Holy Spirit upon us and what we do here, that we and these gifts, touched by your Spirit, may be signs of life and love to one another, and to the world.

Through Christ, with Christ, and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory is yours, God most holy, now and forever.

(Singing together) Amen. X 3
