Scripture
Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29

Jeremiah 31:31-34New International Version (NIV)
31 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“when I will make a new covenant
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
32 It will not be like the covenant
I made with their ancestors
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they broke my covenant,
though I was a husband to[a] them,[b]”
declares the Lord.
33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
after that time,” declares the Lord.
“I will put my law in their minds
and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
34 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.”

Call
to Authenticity
Leader: Faithful God, we want to mature in faith.
People: But what does that really mean?
And what will we have to give up?
Leader: We wonder what transformation requires of us,
our congregation, our denomination.
People: We’re afraid you’ll ask too much.
(silence)
Leader: We want to be your people.
People: Make us willing receivers of a covenant
knit right into the center of our being.
Call
to Grace
God
wants truth in the most hidden places,
and teaches wisdom in the most secret space.
Creating for us clean hearts,
God puts a new, faithful spirit deep inside us!
Call
to Commitment
Leader: God turns things upside down and inside out,
writing a new way of being into our very DNA.
People: God, we will watch and wait
for your new thing to bear fruit within and among us.
