Call to Confession:
Liturgist: Jesus invites us all into his ministry. Let us come before the One who calls us and confess our sins as together we pray…
Prayer of Confession:
Congregation: Lord, you come to us, but we do not recognize you; you call, but we do not follow: you command and we do not obey. Forgive us and help us. Let us hear your invitation and respond. Show us how to follow you. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon:
Liturgist: Hear this Good News! When we repent and confess our sin, God meets us with mercy. Therefore, I declare to you in the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven!
Congregation: In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven!
All: Glory to God. Amen.
