Call to Confession:
Liturgist: God loves us and calls each of us by name. Knowing we are eternally forgiven and infinitely loved, let us boldly confess our sins before God and one another as together we pray…
Prayer of Confession:
All: Merciful God, we confess that we have not loved you with our whole heart. We have failed to be an obedient church. We have not done your will, we have broken your law, we have rebelled against your love, we have not loved our neighbors, and we have not heard the cry of the needy. Forgive us, we pray. Free us for joyful obedience, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon:
Liturgist: Beloved, know that you are pardoned and be at peace to love the Lord and serve the world. 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.
