Leader:
The Apostle John wrote the following instructions …
Let’s take a moment in silent reflection before God …
Leader: Merciful God,
All: We confess that we are addicted to sin and have no power to free ourselves. We have sinned against You by what we think, say and do. We have left many good things undone. At times we fail to love You with our whole heart and we fail to love our neighbors as You have commanded us. Heavenly Father, as Your Son Jesus invited His followers to do, we seek forgiveness for every transgression. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, forgive us, heal us, and lead us so that we can grow in our faith and relationship with You. Amen
Leader:
In the 20th chapter of the Gospel of John … In Jesus’ name receive the Comfort and Power of the Holy Spirit.
