Call to Confession
Unison Prayer of Confession
Gracious and faithful God, forgive us for our limited knowledge of you and our even more limited wisdom and understanding. We exercise our freedom without considering how our actions affect others. Forgive us for unholy choices. Help us to rid our lives of false gods, habits that destroy, and prejudices that divide. We work to be more Christlike in thought, word, and deed. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Silent Prayer of Confession
Assurance of Pardon Pastor
Hear the good news! If we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. So, you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! Romans 6:8,11
