Welcome & Announcements (Elder Rhea Morgan)

Call to Worship, from calltoworshipjournal.org (Elder Rhea)

Prayer Hymn #304 (2x): Into My Heart

Lenten Prayer of Confession (in unison)
   Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed by what we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart and mind and strength. We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. In your mercy forgive what we have been, help us amend what we are, and direct what we shall be so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways to the glory of your holy name. Amen.

Whether rebuilding after a flood, finding safety after conflict, or recovering from economic hardship, Week of Compassion is finding A NEW WAY – a way rooted in relationship, equity, and hope. Together, we are strengthening the church’s long-term capacity to respond and accompany, wherever people are displaced or in need.

In moments when we’re most uncertain, when the usual path is blocked or can’t even be seen, we rely on each other. Like the friends who join together and make a way where there was no way, determined that their friend would see Jesus (Mark 2:1-5), in this work we share, God is opening new ways. Our task is to walk them faithfully – together, with imagination, courage, and trust in the One who makes all things new.

Hazelwood will collect a special offering for Week of Compassion during worship on February 22. You can also give to Week of Compassion directly by clicking HERE. Please note: If you choose to give through Hazelwood, please write “Week of Compassion” in the memo line of your check.

Join us this Lent for a meaningful time of fellowship, study, and nourishment with our ecumenical partners! Beginning February 25 and continuing through March 25, we will gather every Wednesday from 12:30pm – 1:30pm to discuss An Unlikely Lent by Rachel Billups while enjoying delicious homemade soup. The Unlikely Lent is available through Cokesbury, Amazon, or in digital format. We encourage you to obtain a copy and read along with us.
