Litany of Call and Confession
(inspired by John 13:34-35; 1 John
4:7)
Come
with what you have.
For
you who grieve this day
know
that you are invited to bring the broken pieces of your heart.
Loved by one another,
we discover God's
love for us.
Come
with what you have.
For
you who come with gladness
know
that your melody will find harmony.
Accepting God's love
for us,
we are called to love
one another.
Come
with what you have.
For
you weighed down by too many 'shoulds' and 'what-ifs'
know
that here you may lay down the burdens of guilt and shame.
Loved by one another,
we discover God's
love for us.
Come
with what you have.
For
you who have the answers,
know
that new questions await you.
Accepting God's love
for us,
we are called to love
one another.
Come
with what you have.
For
you who come seeking,
know
that your questions are safe in the presence of God.
Loved by one another,
we discover God's
love for us.
