PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Most merciful God we confess that we have sinned against you and our neighbor. We have taken great benefits with little thanks and we have been more ready to insist upon our rights than to see the needs of others. Have mercy and forgive us, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord…
Silent Prayers of Confession
ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS
If anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away see everything has become new! All this is from God, to whom we have been reconciled through Christ. (2 Corinthians 5: 17, 18a). Through Jesus we are forgiven, we are healed, we are restored.
Thanks be to God!
