*Children’s Time

For younger children, care is provided in the nursery during the remainder of our worship time. A single youth volunteer may be needed. Please ask the adult nursery personnel if a youth is necessary.

P: Triune God, within your own life there is mutuality, equality,

and unity in diversity. Though we are made in your image,

we confess that we distort the triune life. Instead of seeking

mutual welfare and the common good, we seek our own

gain. Instead of living in equality, justice, and respect we

construct systems that are unjust and condone systems that

are unjust with our silence. Holy God, forgive us. Restore in

us, and in our life together, the divine image you intend. We

pray to be one with you and one another, through Jesus

Christ our Lord.

ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS

SHARING THE PEACE

L: Since God has forgiven us, let us also forgive one another.

The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

P: And also with you.

L: Let us share our forgiven joy with one another.

HYMN OF ASSURANCE #581 GLORIA PATRI

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,

World without end. Amen, Amen.
