Sunday 13 - Year B
PRAYER OF CONFESSION (From Psalm 130)
Out of
the depths I cry to you, O LORD.
Lord, hear my
voice!
Let your ears be attentive to the
voice of my pleading!
If you, O LORD, if you
took our faults and wrong actions into account,
Lord,
who could stand before you?
But in you there is a
deep well of forgiveness,
so that you may be
held in holy awe.
I wait for you, O LORD, I wait
with deep longing,
and in your word I stand, waiting in
hope.
My deep longing for the Lord
is
more than those who watch for the morning,
more
than those who wait for an end to the night.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON (from Psalm 130)
Our hope
in you, O LORD!
For with you there is steadfast love,
and great power to save.
It is the LORD God
who will save us from all our wrongdoing.
Thanks
be to God.
COMMISSIONING AND BLESSING (from Psalm 130)
Wait
for the LORD,
I wait with deep longing;
and
in his word I stand, waiting in hope.
Hope in the
LORD!
For with the LORD there is steadfast love,
and with the LORD is great power to save.
Go
into the world with assurance, hope and promise:
the grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ rest upon you;
the love of God, creator
and giver of life, embrace you;
and the transforming power of
the Holy Spirit uphold you,
this day and all your days. Amen

A
CREATIVE MOMENT - Mark 5:21-43
Three suggestions, not
necessarily mutually exclusive:
(a) make this a healing
service - a service of prayer for healing and the sick.
(b)
have the lection read while members of the congregation mime the
story
(c) have some members present a dramatic retelling of
the gospel story.
