All: for you have exalted your name and 

   your word above everything.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION                                         

Holy and merciful God, in your presence we confess our sinfulness, our shortcomings and our offenses against you.  You alone know how often we have sinned in wandering from your ways, in wasting your gifts, in forgetting your love.  Have mercy on us, O Lord, for we are ashamed and sorry for all we have done to displease you.  Forgive our sins, and help us to live in your light, and walk in your ways, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Savior…

ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS 

The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. -- 1 Timothy 1:15

Thanks be to God!
