CALL TO WORSHIP
One:
We come, just as we are, to worship.
Many: We come to this place and time to give
and to receive in Jesus name.
One:
A blank canvas of worship stands before us,
outlined perhaps by familiar hymns and ancient patterns.
Many: Yet we need to apply the colors, the textures,
the shapes of our lives to create worship
that truly honors you.
One:
Let your Spirit blow through us and our time together
to enliven all we offer now.
Many: And bring into being a painting
of Love, Truth, and Grace for your kingdom. Amen.

HEBREW SCRIPTURE
Jeremiah 31:31-34
The days are surely coming, says the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
It will not be like the covenant
that I made with their ancestors
when I took them by the hand
to bring them out of the land of Egypt
a covenant that they broke,
though I was their husband, says the Lord.
But this is the covenant that I will make
with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord:
I will put my law within them,
and I will write it on their hearts;
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
No longer shall they [need to] teach one another,
or say to each other, Know the Lord,
for they shall all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord;
for I will forgive their iniquity,
and remember their sin no more.

GOSPEL
Mark 3:1-6
Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a
withered hand. They watched him to see whether he would cure him
on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him. And he said to the man
who had the withered hand, Come forward.
Then he said to them, Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the
sabbath, to save life or to kill? But they were silent.
He looked around at them with anger; he was grieved at their hardness
of heart and said to the man, Stretch out your hand. He stretched it
out, & his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out & immediately
conspired with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.
