5. CALL TO WORSHIP
As we gather this day, each of us
brings something to worship –
We bring the burdens of the
week.
We bring prayers of hope, and
prayers of anguish.
We bring our voices, and our
offerings, and our questions.
We bring our faith, tattered or
whole as it may be.
We bring all this to each other
and to God, whom we worship
today.

6. CALL TO WORSHIP
There is silence,
And there is light.
There is music,
And there is grace.
There are people,
And there is life.
There is hope,
And there is God.
Let us worship well today.

8. GREETING AND PRAYER OF THE DAY
➤ The grace of our Savior Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the
presence of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
➤ And also with you.
➤ Let us pray. Almighty God, your Son came into the world
to free us all from sin and death. Breathe upon us the
power of your Spirit, that we may be raised to new life in
Christ and serve you in righteousness all our days,
through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and
forever. Amen.

9. FIRST READING: EZEKIEL 37:1-14
➤ 1The hand of the Lord came upon me, and he brought me out
by the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of a
valley; it was full of bones. 2He led me all around them; there
were very many lying in the valley, and they were very
dry. 3He said to me, “Mortal, can these bones live?” I
answered, “O Lord God, you know.” 4Then he said to me,
“Prophesy to these bones, and say to them: O dry bones, hear
the word of the Lord. 5Thus says the Lord God to these bones:
I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. 6I will lay
sinews on you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and
cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live;
and you shall know that I am the Lord.”

10. FIRST READING: EZEKIEL 37:1-14
➤ 7So I prophesied as I had been commanded; and as I
prophesied, suddenly there was a noise, a rattling, and the
bones came together, bone to its bone. 8I looked, and there
were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and
skin had covered them; but there was no breath in
them. 9Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath,
prophesy, mortal, and say to the breath: Thus says the
Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe
upon these slain, that they may live.” 10I prophesied as he
commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they
lived, and stood on their feet, a vast multitude.

11. FIRST READING: EZEKIEL 37:1-14
➤ 11Then he said to me, “Mortal, these bones are the whole
house of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our
hope is lost; we are cut off completely.’ 12Therefore
prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: I am
going to open your graves, and bring you up from your
graves, O my people; and I will bring you back to the land
of Israel. 13And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I
open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my
people. 14I will put my spirit within you, and you shall live,
and I will place you on your own soil; then you shall know
that I, the Lord, have spoken and will act, says the Lord.”

12. PSALM 130 (LET’S READ THIS TOGETHER)
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.
Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be
attentive to the voice of my
supplications!
If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with you, so
that you may be revered.
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and
in his word I hope; my soul waits for
the Lord more than those who watch
for the morning, more than those who
watch for the morning.
O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with
the Lord there is steadfast love, and
with him is great power to redeem.
It is he who will redeem Israel from
all its iniquities.
