Call to Confession
Let us confess our sins, for God is gracious and strong to save.
Prayer of Confession
God of goodness and truth, we have failed to seek after your wisdom and have
followed paths that have led away from you. Forgive our foolish ways, and lead
us in your truth, that we may live in the fullness of life as you intend through
Christ our Lord. Amen.
Declaration of Forgiveness
Beloved, your sins are forgiven, for God is merciful and just. Therefore, be
reconciled to the Lord and to one another, walking in the light of Christ.
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come; thy will be
done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our
trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
