INVOCATION Rev. Mason
HYMN: “Open Our Eyes, Lord” CALL TO CONFESSION: Beloved, we are God’s children because of the love God has for us, yet we sometimes fail to respond to God’s outpouring of love. Let us confess our sins together. PRAYER OF CONFESSION: (Unison) Merciful and loving God, your love for us is unconditional, yet our love for you, for others and for ourselves is often not. We allow our biases and pride to blind us; our brokenness remains unhealed; we cling to old stories and hurts which impede the work of reconciliation. Forgive us, we pray, for failing to trust you, for playing it safe instead of following the daring call of your Spirit, for withholding forgiveness and grace from ourselves and others. Let your love renew us yet again. Let the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead rekindle creative life within us and restore right relations among us. Amen. *Time of silent prayer Assurance of Pardon: We know love by this, that Jesus laid down his life for us. Friends, hear the good news and believe: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven! *Passing the Peace: L: The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. P: And also, with you.
