Leader: To you, O Lord, we lift up our souls. In you we trust, O God. Do not let us be put to shame, nor let our enemies triumph over us.
All: No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.
Leader: Show us your ways, O Lord; teach us your paths…
All: For you are God, my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
Leader: Good and upright is the Lord, therefore he instructs sinners in his ways. He guides the humble in what is right.

Call to Confession
Unison Prayer of Confession
Just and Gracious God, we confess that we have failed to meet your expectations for your people, who are called by your name. Too easily we comply with the ways of the world. We enjoy advantages that are unavailable to many without thought for the lack of others. We do not call oppressors to account, nor do we recognize our own oppressive ways. We pass by those who suffer without concern or compassion. We are troubled when we see ourselves in truth. Forgive our sins and redeem us as we repent. Our only hope is in you and in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Silent Prayer of Confession
Assurance of Pardon Pastor
God has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Praise the Lord! Colossians 1:13-14
