Time of Confession and Renewal
Prayer of Confession
Holy and merciful God,
We confess to you and to one another,
that we have sinned by our own fault in thought, word, and
deed,by what we have done and by what we have left
undone.
We confess to you, O God, all our past unfaithfulness:
the pride and hypocrisy inour lives.
We confess to you, O God, our self-indulgent appetites
and ways and taking advantage of other people.
We confess to you, O God, our anger and refusal to
forgive others.
We confess to you, O God, our envy of those more
fortunate than us and our lack of gratitude for your
blessings to us.
We confess to you, O God, our apathy towards
matters of faith, and negligence inprayer and
worship.
We confess to you, O God, for substituting lust for love
exploiting others in the process.
Have mercy on us, O God.
Through Christ Jesus our Savior. Amen.

ǂ Spectrum Health Hospice is offering volunteer orientations for individuals who are interested in providing compassionate support for patients nearing the end of life.
Volunteer opportunities are available for those who can offer respite care for a caregiver, friendly visits, document a patient’s life story, singers, instrumentalists, visiting therapy pets and for licensed cosmetologists to support patients receiving hospice care in their homes or at long term care facilities. If you have a caring spirit and some time to give – we can use your help to help others! Average time commitment is one hour per week after orientation is completed. There is no cost for thetraining and all the training materials; therefore, we do ask volunteers to commit to volunteering for at least a year after training.
We’ve recently implemented a new training format that will allow candidates to complete some of the required training through an online program at your convenience. The goal is to shorten the on-boarding process and add more flexibility in the training process making it easier for interested individuals to join our volunteer program. Once the online piece is completed, you are eligible to register for one of the in-person trainings that is listed below.
