Call to Confession
Unison Prayer of Confession
Great and holy God, filled with mercy and steadfast love, we confess that we have preferred the ways of the world to your ways. We have rebelled
against your word and your wisdom. When we reject you, we are totally lost. Hear us as we pour out our sorrows and repent of our sins. We pray
that in the grace of Christ you will use our weakness for good. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Silent Prayer of Confession
Assurance of Pardon Pastor
Christ’s grace is sufficient for us, and his power is made perfect in our weakness. To all who confess their sins and resolve to lead a new life, he says, “Your sins are
forgiven.” He calls us, then, to follow him.
