Brief Explanation of WorshipSlide3
Reading: Psalm 51
Pew Bible, OT p. 520Slide4
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love;according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin.Slide5
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
Against you, you alone, have I sinned,
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are justified in your sentence
and blameless when you pass judgment.Slide6
Indeed, I was born guilty, a sinner when my mother conceived me.
You desire truth in the inward being;
therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.Slide7
Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have crushed rejoice.Hide your face from my sins,
and blot out all my iniquities.Slide8
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from your presence,
and do not take your holy spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit.Slide9
Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you.
Deliver me from bloodshed, O God,
O God of my salvation,
and my tongue will sing aloud of your deliverance.Slide10
O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.
For you have no delight in sacrifice;
if I were to give a burnt offering, you would not be pleased.Slide11
The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;
rebuild the walls of Jerusalem,Slide12
then you will delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.Slide13
(Silence)
Pastor: I have left you behind, O God. I have
ignored
your Voice,
and my soul is a thing of tatters and tears, shredded and
ripped by life itself.
People: O God, O God hear us now.Slide14
Leader: Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from
my sin.
( Silence)
Pastor: I have loved only myself: not my family, my friends, my
colleagues, much less strangers and those I meet in passing,
and my life is a thing of emptiness and despair.Slide15
People: O God, O God hear us now.
Leader: Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from
my sin.
(Silence)
Pastor: I have ignored suffering. I have closed my eyes to the needs
of all people, and my love is a thing of hollowness and
miserliness.Slide16
People: O God, O God hear us now.
Leader: Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from
my sin.
(Silence)
Pastor: I have taken enjoyment in other peoples misfortune.
Slide17
I have sunk talons of malice into their souls, ripping and tearing them in my anger and frustration, and my joy is a thing misshapen.
People: O God, O God hear us now.Slide18
Leader: Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from
my sin.
(Silence)
Pastor: I have withheld forgiveness to those who have injured me out
of spite and meanness, and my spirit is a thing of twisted
knots.Slide19
People: O God, O God hear us now.
Leader: Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.Slide20
(Silence)
Pastor: I have yearned for what the unobtainable, conspiring to get
what I do not have, not caring who pays for my pleasure, and
my conscience is a thing of murky thoughts and doubtful
deeds.Slide21
People: O God, O God hear us now.
Leader: Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.Slide22
(Silence)
Pastor: I have followed a path of uncaring heedlessness, trampling through your creation as if it were mine to despoil, and my guardianship is a thing of selfishness and corruption.Slide23
People: O God, O God hear us now.
Leader: Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.Slide24
(Silence)
Pastor: I have wasted my possibilities and talents. I have squandered your gifts and resources, and my potential has faded to a thing of transparency and futility.Slide25
People: O God, O God hear us now.
Leader: Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.Slide26
(Silence)
Pastor: I am pierced by pain and cut by sorrow. Only you can heal me, O God. Only you can ease my suffering. Listen to my cries. Grant me the mercy I do not deserve, but so desire and need. Restore me, forgive me, love me.Slide27
Leader: O God, O God hear us now.
People: Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. Amen.

Hymn: G2G #850
“In a Deep, Unbounded Darkness”Slide29Slide30Slide31Slide32Slide33Slide34Slide35Slide36Slide37
Reading: Joel 2:1-2, 12-17
Pew Bible, OT, pgs. 846-847Slide38
Blow the trumpet in Zion;
sound the alarm on my holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,
for the day of the
Lord is coming, it is near—Slide39
a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and thick darkness!
Like blackness spread upon the mountains
a great and powerful army comes;
their like has never been from of old, nor will be again after them in ages to come.Slide40
Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with all your heart,
with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;
rend your hearts and not your clothing.Slide41
Return to the Lord, your God,
for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love,
and relents from punishing.Slide42
Who knows whether he will not turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him,
a grain offering and a drink offering
for the
Lord, your God?Slide43
Blow the trumpet in Zion; sanctify a fast;call a solemn assembly;
gather the people.Slide44
Sanctify the congregation; assemble the aged;
gather the children,
even infants at the breast.
Let the bridegroom leave his room,
and the bride her canopy.Slide45
Between the vestibule and the altar let the priests, the ministers of the Lord
, weep.
Let them say, “Spare your people, O
Lord
,Slide46
and do not make your heritage a mockery, a byword among the nations.Why should it be said among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’”Slide47
Imposition of the Ashes
Hymn: G2G #471
“O lord, Hear My Prayer”
(sung throughout the Imposition of the Ashes)
Pastor: Remember that you are dust,
and to dust you will return.Slide48Slide49Slide50Slide51
Pastor: The Lord be with you.
People: And also with you.
Pastor: Let us pray.Slide52
People: Gracious God, you love all
creation, all things awesome
and all things modest. Create
in us clean hearts, minds,
souls, and bodies that we may
worship and serve you in
all we do and say, all we are
and can be.
Slide53
We ask this in
the name of Jesus the Christ,
who is our
salvation. Amen.
People: We heed the Word of God.
Leader: God has spoken words of
wisdom.Slide54
People: We are glad to learn
God’s law.
Leader: God has sent to all the
message.
People: We open our hearts to
receive it.
Leader: Hear the word of God
and live it!
People: We ask God’s help and
guidance. Amen.Slide55

Gospel: John 18:33-38
Pew Bible, NT, p. 113Slide59
Then Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
Jesus answered, “Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?”Slide60
Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?” Slide61
Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews.Slide62
But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.”
Pilate asked him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king.Slide63
For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.” Slide64
Pilate asked him, “What is truth?”
After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, “I find no case against him. Slide65
