Call to Confession
Unison Prayer of Confession
Holy God, we do not understand why you keep on loving us, for we do not deserve your love. We hurt our loved ones. We turn our backs on the needy. We are prideful and selfish, seeking revenge for petty wrongs rather than forgiving others. We confess our repeated failure to obey you, recognizing that our wrongful words and actions are sins against you. Forgive us and fill us with your Spirit, that we may live in ways that please you. In Jesus’ name we ask, Amen.
Silent Prayer of Confession
Assurance of Pardon Pastor
Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God (1 Peter 3:18). As we repent of sin, God’s love dries our tears; God’s forgiveness picks us up; God’s peace settles our hearts and minds. In the name of the risen Christ, you are forgiven and made whole.

Our Giving to the Lord Pastor
God has assigned us our portion and our cup; He has set the boundary lines in pleasant places and given us a delightful inheritance (Psalm 16:5-6). Let each of us use whatever gift we have received, faithfully sharing God’s grace in many forms.
