Notre approche vers Dieu / OUR APPROACH TO GOD
Bienvenue, prière et appel à la celebration / Greeting, Prayer, and Call to Worship:
As I live every day, I want to be a channel for peace. May I bring love where there is hatred and healing where there is hurt; joy where there is sadness, and hope where there is fear. I pray that I may always try to understand and comfort other people, as well as seeking comfort and understanding from them. May I choose always to be a light in the darkness, a help in times of need, and a caring honest friend. And may justice, kindness, and peace flow from my heart forever. Amen.
Leader: Let us contemplate Jesus the Lord: Instead of the joy meant for him, he endured the cross, disregarding its disgrace.
People: We worship you, O Lord.
Leader: O Jesus Christ, born in humility to confound the proud and to raise the humble:
People: We worship you, O Lord.
Leader: You lived among us, healing the sick, proclaiming the good news to the poor, and freedom to prisoners.
People: We worship you, O Lord.
Leader: You came to unbind the chains of every slavery, O friend of the humble, bread of hungry hearts.
People: We worship you, O Lord.
Leader: Jesus, full of patience and goodness, you showed forgiveness and kindness to the very end.
People: We worship you, O Lord.
Leader: Jesus, gentle and humble of heart, you call to yourself all who are weary and burdened.
People: We worship you, O Lord.
Leader: Jesus, you came into the world to serve and to give your life; you were betrayed for money, dragged before judges, and nailed to a cross.
People: We worship you, O Lord.
Leader: Jesus, Lord of the universe, by your resurrection from the dead, you are alive at the Father’s side, and there you prepare a place for us.
People: We worship you, O Lord.
Minister: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
People: And also with you.
Holy God, Holy and mighty
Holy, immortal one
Have mercy upon us (3 times)

PSAUME / RESPONSIVE READING Psalm 19
Leader: The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
People: Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge.
Leader: There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard;
People: yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.
Leader: In the heavens God has set a tent for the sun, which comes out lie a bridegroom from his wedding canopy, and like a strong runner pursues its course with joy.
People: Its rising is from the end of the heavens and its circuit to the end of them; and nothing is hid from its heat.
Leader: The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the decrees of the Lord are sure, making wise the simple;
People: the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is clear, enlightening the eyes.
Leader: The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
People: More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
Leader: Moreover by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. But who can detect their errors?
People: Clear me from hidden faults. Keep back your servant also from proud thoughts; do not let them have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.
All: Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
Gloria Patri
Leader: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
People: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Scripture for March 8th
Third Sunday in Lent
Exodus 20: 1 – 17
And God spoke all these words:
“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
“You shall have no other gods before me.
“You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
“You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
“Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
“You shall not murder.
“You shall not commit adultery.
“You shall not steal.
“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
Psalm 19

1 Corinthians 1: 18 – 25
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”
Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
John 2: 13 – 22
When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!” His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”
The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” But the temple he had spoken of was his body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
