* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:   (Unison)
Most gracious and merciful God, we confess to You that time after time, we have offered sincere sounding prayers, but our hearts have been closed to Your grace.  We have lifted our hands to You in praise, but our feet have still walked in the way of sin.  We have heard Your word and celebrated Your sacraments, but we have refused to see the needs of our neighbor. Forgive our lack of faith and love. Grant us the cleansing that can only come from You. We pray through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
