*GATHERING SONGS (to be determined by Dan and the Praise Band)
FIRST SCRIPTURE READING John 11:17-29 (Jesus arrives after Lazarus’ death)
(Scripture will be on Powerpoint)
PRAYERS OF INTERCESSION AND LAMENT
Like Mary and Martha, sometimes we pray to God out of our deepest need, fear, or pain. During this time of prayer, please feel free to speak prayers of intercession or lament. Please end each prayer with the phrase “God in your mercy” or “God in your grace” and the community will respond, “Lord, hear our prayer.”
SECOND SCRIPTURE READING Psalm 42
(Scripture will be on Powerpoint)
SONG Why So Downcast Oh My Soul
(Dan will provide lyrics for Powerpoint)
PRAYERS OF PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING
When our soul is downcast, we can turn in praise and hope in God. In spoken and unspoken prayers, let us praise God, our hope, our help, our God. As we did before, please end each prayer with the phrase “God in your mercy” or “God in your grace” and this time, the community will respond, “Lord, we praise you.”
