Call to Worship
From the busy-ness of our lives
we have come here on a day that is different.
In the midst of the world
which holds the promise of spring
and new life,
we have come to share a story of
betrayal and execution.
Come and hear the tale,
come and share the tragedy,
come and embrace the darkness.
Opening Prayer
God of Light, God of Shadow, in
our time together today,
keep us aware of your presence in
the darkness,
help us to see meaning in this
terrible story,
and keep the fire of hope alive
in our hearts.
This we pray in the name of the man from Nazareth,
the one who lived with a great Passion for your Way,
the one whose death is nigh,
the one who
taught his friends to pray saying:
Our Father, which art in heaven….
