CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS
P: In the name of the Father, and of the † Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
C: Amen.
P: God of heaven and earth, you come in close and make us yours. Equip us by your Spirit to confess our sin, embrace your forgiveness, and seek the way you set before us in your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
C: Amen
P: With honesty of heart, let us confess our sin.
(Silence is kept for reflection.)
P: Merciful God,
C: forgive us. Our will is handcuffed to sin, and we cannot break free. We have spoken when we should have kept quiet. We were silent when we should have said something. We acted when we knew better. We were still when we know we should have moved. For the wrong we have done, for the good we have failed to do, have mercy on us, through Jesus Christ, our Savior, and Lord. Amen.
P: People of God, look to the † Son, given to heal you and set you free because God loved the world so much. Take hold of life- eternal life!
C: Amen

HYMN OF THE DAY (stand) “God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending” #686
APOSTLES’ CREED
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
SHARING OF THE PEACE
P: The peace of the Lord be with you always.
C: And also with you.
(Share God’s Peace with your neighbor. If you would prefer not to shake hands, please feel free to extend “God’s Peace” to your neighbor through nodding or extending a grace-filled word without any physical touch.)
