The Comforting Face of God

Isaiah 40:1-11; Psalm 85:1-2, 8-13; 2 Peter 3:8-15a; Mark 1:1-8

When we are most vulnerable, God comes to us through a voice offering comfort and direction.  We reflect God’s face as we heed the voice that unites righteousness and peace .

Call to Worship      Lynette                     

    Fill your lungs with air, and lift up your voice with strength

    Good news is coming!  God’s love is being revealed.

    Get up on a high mountain so you can see the big picture.  Step out into the open plain so you can see all around.

    The Lord comes, strong as one who levels hills and raises valleys, gentle as a shepherd who gathers the lambs.

    Here is good news for all creation!

    Love and faithfulness are embracing.  Justice and peace are kissing each other.  God’s presence is among us today!

Confessing     Lynette

    Many faces plead for our attention this week.

    Voice 1:  In some faces we see longings for comfort and direction in the midst of threats and insecurity.

    Voice 2:  In our own faces we see desires for peace and words of assurance.

    Voice 3:  We listen for the voice crying, “Prepare the way.â€

    Restore us, O God; let your face shine and bring us comfort.

Joys and Concerns in Prayer   Lynette

La ténèbre (our darkness)    STJ 101

   Comforting God, we bring to you our concerns

      (prayers of concern are voiced)

   Speak tenderly to us; speak to the fading and withered places;

   Speak comfort to broken bodies, minds, and relationships.

   We long to see valleys lifted up and mountains made low

       so we may walk on straight paths,

       confident in your forgiveness,

       and ready to hear your words of love and peace.

   Comforting God, we bring to you our joys

       (prayers of praise are offered)

   We revel in the joy of your embrace.

   When we see good things spring up from the ground, we say,

       “Here is our God!â€

   When we hear voices of comfort and wisdom, we say,

       “Here is our God!â€

   We live in thankfulness, knowing that you walk with us.     

       AMEN.
