Call to Confession
Unison Prayer of Confession
Almighty God, you have revealed yourself to us in the light of creation, in the radiance of your perfect law, and in the shining love of Jesus Christ. Yet we continue to turn away from the knowledge you offer; we disobey your commands; we ignore your rebuke. Forgive us for words spoken in anger; for promises made without the intention of faithfulness; for judgements made in haste; for thoughts unregulated by discipline. Forgive our complacent hearts and our wayward choices. We cry out, “O Lord, save us!” In Jesus’ name, Amen!
Silent Prayer of Confession
Assurance of Pardon Pastor
The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. The Lord protects the simplehearted; when I was in great need, he saved me. For you, O Lord, have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
Psalm 116:5-9

How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord. I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people. I will sacrifice a thank offering to praise the Lord.
Psalm 116:12-14, 17
