Prayer of Confession (Call to  Worship)
Faithful God, you have given us a rich and godly heritage,
Through the sure testimony and holy example of our mothers and fathers in the faith.
When we permit the light of our faith to grow dim through neglect or willful sin,
Forgive us.
When we stray from the paths you commend to us,
Forgive us and renew us by your Holy Spirit.
Fan in us a new and brighter flame of faith,
So that our words and deeds declare your Good News.
Declaration of Pardon (Nathan Nettleton)
Through Christ Jesus we are saved not according to our works,
But by God’s purpose and grace.
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.
The mercies of God never come to an end.
Having been reconciled to God and one another through Jesus Christ,
Our sins are forgiven!
Dwell in peace with God and one another.
So be it!
