Call to Confession
Unison Prayer of Confession
Eternal God, we confess that we have praised you with our lips but have not glorified you with our lives. Have mercy on us for our weak faith that fades under pressure, for our enthusiasm that quickly dies, and for the hopes we proclaim but do not pursue. Give us new trust in your power that we may live for justice and tell of your loving-kindness by our actions and our words. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Silent Prayer of Confession
