Prayer of Confession
Our Heavenly Father, we bow our heads before you and we confess
that our behavior has not always reflected that we belong to you.
We fail to confess the hope you give. We humbly ask your forgiveness
as well as for your renewing Spirit. Confirm us again in the hope of your
son Jesus Christ in whose name we pray. Amen
Assurance of Pardon
Hear the good news:
Christ died for us while we were yet sinners;
that proves God’s love toward us.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven!
In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.
