March 15, 2020 | 3rd Sunday of Lent, Year A Color: Purple | Service of Word and Table **indicates to stand as able. Due to the sacredness of this time, please silence electronic devices. Please greet those with whom you are sitting! Morning Meditation All creation calls God, in all its many languages. Lovers and poets as well as monks in prayer also cry to God… Human eyes are like wells, like the well of the Samaritan woman. Every woman is a woman at the well. The well is deep. And Jesus is sitting on the rim of the well… This thirst felt by all beings is the love of God. Prelude Choral Introit Oh How God Loves You and Me Come We That Love the Lord **Call to Worship Let all who yearn for connection, all who hunger for justice and thirst for bodily renewal come and be replenished. With hope and expectation, we bring all that our soul’s desire. Let everyone weary from isolation or overwhelmed by life’s troubles come and find rest in God’s care. All those who come seeking community are received in Holy Embrace. May the presence and provision of God be manifest among us that all may have what they need. We come to give, we come to receive, we come to grow in love. **Opening Prayer God Who Knows, all that we experience is held in your care. Nothing is hidden from you - not the burdens we bear in public or the quiet pain felt only in secret. Your love for us welcomes everything that aches. With hearts open to your Spirit, we bring all our hopes and fears to you. Amen. **Hymn Hebrew Bible Children’s Moment Psalm Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise Exodus 17:1-7, Common English Bible Psalm 95, Response 1 Confession & Assurance Sharing Christ’s Peace Anthem Calvary’s Love UMH 103 Ernest Cardenal arr.
