God,
This is the Sunday
You flipped Tables
And said,
not my Temple
Not my Body
Not my Place
.You will not desecrate
my sanctuary
with capitalism, and injustice
and slavery and inequality.
Thank you.
Thank you
Thank you.
Amen.
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
Signs of God: Making Sanctuary
Call to Worship
God you make this a sanctuary for us
Giving bread to the hungry, Rest for the weary
Surely those who look, will find God
Come, let us build a house of justice and sanctuary for God
Confession: God we confess that we often confuse peace with being subdued or quiet. We forget that true sanctuary means a place to not just feel but be safe. Help us to be safe with one another we pray. Help us to build your sanctuary, we pray. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon. God’s peace is from everlasting to everlasting, know the good news: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven.
Prayer of the Day/Dedication: God’s mercies are renewed every morning. God’s mercies never come to an end. Let us go into the world renewed by God. Amen.
Hymns: Be Thou My Vision, Room at the Table, Great is Thy Faithfulness, Because He Lives, Worthy is The Lamb,
With Children: Chalk and Eraser Board Jesus can cleanse you every single time you make a mistake. Jesus wants you to keep trying!
If you find my work useful, please consider giving to my Doctorate in Ministry in Creative Writing https://gofund.me/70a114f9. It is a “working theologian’s” doctorate where I preach, write and share my work with the world all at the same time. If your church uses my work extensively and could use a receipt email me at katyandtheword at gmail and let me know!
