Call to Confession:
Leader: Let us face this day of palms and Jesus’ passion, with honesty, confessing our sins before God.
Prayer of Confession:
All: Lord we confess that while we sing your praises, we also turn our backs on you. We have withheld the love You give us from others. Forgive our failings, heal our brokenness, and nurture what we have neglected. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon:
Leader: Hear this good news. There is no betrayal so great that our God would withhold love. In the name of Jesus Christ you are forgiven.
Congregation: In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.
All: Glory to God. Amen.
