CALL TO CONFESSION
PRAYER OF CONFESSION Jennifer Eastman
Holy God, giver of life, guardian of our souls, we turn to You in
prayer. In You we find peace that calms us, forgiveness that
cleanses us and love that never lets us go. With gentleness and
compassion, look in our hearts this day and forgive us all that
separates us from You. Whisper words that will comfort us and
heal us, and call us into new ways of living that are acceptable
to You. Let us be encouraged to live in faith, to act with com-
passion and to seek justice, so that we may truly follow in the
way of the Christ in whose name we pray. ~ Amen
(Let us continue to pray in silence.)
ASSURANCE OF PARDON
One: Friends, hear the good news of the Gospel.
All: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.
*ACT OF PRAISE [370 v. 4]
Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be Thine, yea Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
