Call to Confession

Lee Marsh

Prayer of Confession

Lee Marsh

Loving God, We confess that we put on airs more often than we put on the armor of God. We are guilty of girding ourselves with lies instead of the truth. We try to protect ourselves with arrogance, superstition, and self-reliance instead of righteousness, faith, and Your gift of salvation. Our footsteps do not follow Your path of peace. And we are quick to use Your Word to attack one another, instead of striking out against the sins we personally commit. (Silent confession) Forgive us, Holy God. Gift us with the wisdom and strength to change our ways, so that we may live as Your faithful ambassadors of the Good News. Amen.

Kyrie Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ, have mercy upon us. Lord, have mercy upon us.

Declaration of Forgiveness

Lee Marsh

*Gloria Patri Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.

*The Passing of the Peace

Lee Marsh

The peace of the Lord be with you always. And also with you. (During the Passing of the Peace, children are invited to come forward for the time with our young disciples.)

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
