Call to Confession
Unison Prayer of Confession
Gracious God, forgive our arrogance that masquerades as truth; our insensitivity that disregards the pain of others; our pride that fails to acknowledge our weakness. Teach us humility. Cover us with your grace that we may learn to extend grace to others. Teach us to live in the way of Christ. In his name we pray, Amen.
