Lent II
Call to Worship
L In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
C Amen.
L During this season of Lent we hear God’s call to simplicity. As Jesus emptied
himself on the cross, so let us empty ourselves of everything that clutters our minds.
C Come Lord, cleanse us this morning!
L As Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit and given the strength to fast in the
wilderness, so let us open our minds to the power of God.
C Come Lord, fill us with your Holy Spirit!
L As Jesus was patient with himself and his disciples, so let us be patient with ourselves and the people around us.
C Come Lord, give us patience and endurance on our way.
L This season we hear God’s call to simplicity. In the name of Jesus, our Lord, I bless you to curb excess and find joy in humble things.
C Amen.
