Call to Worship & Prayer
Almighty God, we pray as those for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willingly betrayed, given into the hands of sinners, and suffered death upon the cross. We ask that you would be honored in our worship and you would help our remembrance of Jesus’ sacrifice for our sin. We pray in the name of the One who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen
Read Psalm 22:1-8, 19-24

Confession & Assurance
O God, how can we lift our faces to you? For our iniquities have risen higher than our heads.
Our guilt has mounted to the heavens.
We are ashamed of all our iniquities.
For we have forsaken your commandments and filled the land from end to end with uncleanness.
And now, O God, what shall we say?
For no one is righteous. No, not one.
But you, God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which you loved us, have not punished us as our iniquities deserve;
You have extended your steadfast love to us, it pleased you to crush Christ on our behalf, that by His wounds we would be healed.
Forgive us, O merciful God, for the sake of your gracious Son, Jesus Christ,
That his great suffering and redeeming work might bring us into eternal fellowship with You, that we might commit and commend our spirits, as He has done, into Your loving and gracious hand.

Prayer
John 3:16-17 tells us God sent Jesus out of love for the world, that Jesus came into the world not to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Let us take a few moments to pray for the world.
Pray for the church all over the world. Pray the gospel would be preached and the Lord would preserve His church in the face of the pandemic, persecution, and opposition from the evil one.
Pray for our elected officials: the President, Congress, the Supreme Court, and our local leaders.
Pray for those suffering all over the world, specifically for a solution to Coronavirus.
Pray for the lost. Ask God to raise up laborers for the harvest to make the glorious news of Good Friday known to all peoples.
Benediction
Ephesians 3:16–19
