A collection of over 50 prayers, this resource provides fresh language for worship inspired by the scriptures and theme for our Lent series, Wandering Heart. We’ve included liturgy for 8 Sundays: the 1st-5th Sundays in Lent, Palm/Passion Sunday, Easter Sunday, and the Second Sunday of Easter. (For Good Friday, we have created a separate, creative worship service available here. You can find a worship outline for Ash Wednesday on our blog here.)
For each of these Sundays, we provide: A call to worship, a call to confession, a prayer of confession, words of forgiveness, a prayer for illumination, and an affirmation of faith. We have also included communion liturgy for Easter Sunday and the Second Sunday of Easter, and a general benediction to use throughout the series. We hope you will copy/paste or adapt these prayers for your corporate worship (with credit).

EXCERPT:
Affirmation of Faith from the Third Sunday in Lent | Wandering Heart: “Praise the mount”
Jesus asked the disciples, “But what about you? Who do you say that I am?”
Church, what do you say?
Jesus is a hand reaching out in the storm,
the voice of truth spoken over us,
and love without walls.
Jesus is justice for the weary,
healing for the hurt,
and welcome for the stranger.
Jesus is teacher, Messiah, and friend—
with me on the mountain
and beside me in the valley.
Jesus is a star in the night,
and the love that knows my name.
Jesus asked, “Who do you say that I am?”
Like Peter, we say,
“Jesus, you are the Messiah, son of the Living God.”
