Prayer of Confession
|
God
of grace and comfort, in Jesus Christ you came among us as light shining
in the darkness. We confess that we have not welcomed the light, or
trusted the good news to be good. We have often closed our eyes to
glory in our midst, expecting little, hoping for less. Forgive us
our doubt, and renew our hope, so that we may receive the fullness of your
grace and comfort. Amen |
Assurance of Pardon
|
The Mercy of the Lord is everlasting. Our God declares to us that in Jesus Christ we are forgiven. May the God of mercy, who forgives us of all our sins, by the power of the Holy Spirit, keep us connected to our Lord Jesus and to our sisters and brothers in Him, with whom together we are the body of Christ |

Prayer of the Community
|
God
of mercy, you are slow to anger, and full of mercy, welcoming sinners who
return to you with penitent hearts. Receive
in your loving embrace all who come home to you.
Seat them at your bountiful table of grace, that with all your
children they may feast with delight on all that satisfies the hungry
heart… Silent Prayer, ending with prayer by Pastor Ara, and the Lord’s Prayer in unison |
