Unison Prayer of Confession
Loving Father, I confess my sins, broken by my failures. I have wandered from Your path, hurting You and others. Heal my soul, Lord, and cleanse my heart. Renew my spirit to follow Your truth, trusting in Your mercy. Guide me to live in wholeness, reflecting in Your love and grace. Your word assures me that when I confess, You forgive. Cleanse my heart and renew my spirit. Grant me Your grace to walk in righteousness, trusting in Your endless mercy. Thank You for Your unfailing love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

They called on the Lord and he answered them. He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them. Lord our God, you answered them; you were to Israel a forgiving God, though you punished their misdeeds. Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his holy mountain, for the Lord our God is holy. (from Psalm 99:6-9)

Our Giving to the Lord Liturgist
Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.

And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8
