Call to Confession:
Leader: We have received from Jesus Christ the gift of the Holy Spirit. In the name of the one we gives us this power, let us confess our sin to God and one another:
Prayer of Confession:
People: Without your power, O god, we are lost. We have done the things we would avoid, and what you desire, we have not done. By your purifying fire, transform our lives; guide us into honesty and compassion so that filled with your peace our dreams and visions may be one with yours; through Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon:
Leader: Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. By the power in whom we live and move and have our being, I pronounce to you, the forgiveness of your sins. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven!
People to leader: In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven!
Leader and people: Glory to God. Amen.
