CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS (stand)
P: Blessed be the † holy Trinity, the one who fashions us, the one who heals us, the one who reforms us again and again.
C: Amen.
P: Let us confess our sin, calling for God’s transforming power.
 
Silence for reflection and self-examination.
 
P: Source of all life,
C: we confess that we have not allowed your grace to set us free. We fear that we are not good enough. We hear your word of love freely given to us, yet we expect others to earn it. We turn the church inward, rather than moving it outward. Forgive us. Stir us. Reform us to be a church powered by love, willing to speak for what is right, act for what is just, and seek the healing of your whole creation. Amen. 
P: God hears our cry and sends the Spirit to change us and to empower our lives in the world. Our sins are forgiven, † God’s love is unconditional, and we are raised up as God’s people who will always be made new, in the name of Jesus Christ. C: Amen.
