Sustenance for the Journey (More nourishment when we falter)
February 28
Lent 2
Lament over Jerusalem
Call to Worship:
Gather us together Jesus
That we might take shelter under your wings.
For I was glad when they said unto me, let us god into the house of the Lord
Our feet are standing within your gates, O God.
Peace be within you family and friends
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, let us seek good!
Invitation: For all those who feel empty, God invites us to lay to God in confession too.
Prayer of Confession: God, we confess that sometimes we feel like we don’t produce enough and we deserve to be cut down. We admit that sometimes we view ourselves, or others as a waste of space. Remind us that some years are barer than others. That sometimes, like the fig tree, we need more room and care to grow. Help us to give ourselves, and others what is needed to grow we pray.
Assurance of Pardon: God will always welcome us home and gather us under her wings, so we may be comforted by the truth: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven.
Prayer of the Day/Dedication: God loves and cares for us, sending Jesus to nourish us and wrap us under the wings of the Holy Spirit Help us God when we are bare or barren, or sick or lament Help us not to chop each other down, but to build each other up we pray. Amen.
Communion Prayer: Dear Jesus, it is a blessing to be gathered here, like your brood under your wing, through the celebration of Communion. Before you left, you gathered one last time, and left it as an invitation for any or all who wish to join in the protection of the Lord. Send your Holy Spirit upon this communion so that we might experience a moment of peace, and bless us with the nourishment we need along the way we pray. Amen.
Hymns: Be Thou My Vision, Jesus Thy Boundless Love to Me, My Hope is Built on Nothing Less, Savior Like a Shepherd Lead Us
Taize: Bless the Lord, My Soul, that leads me into life

Hey Katy, Are there prayers and such for Lent 3? I didn’t receive them, if so.
Thank you for tour hard work, and detail. Very encouraging and beautifully written.
May God’s grace bless you. Sent by Chuck Goodman Via iPigeon

Hello the directory is here 🙂 https://katyandtheword.com/2021/01/05/narrative-lectionary-lent-luke/
Hi Katy. Thanks for all your work. I’ve been thinking about a title for the Lent journey, too. I was trying to connect it to the parables. I think I was trying too hard!
Anyway, I noticed that each week has a title, except this one. What might you title Lent 2?
Yes Lent 2 is Sustenance for the Journey (More Nourishment When We Falter)
