to declare your steadfast love in the morning,

    and your faithfulness by night

-Unison Confession:

Let us confess our sin before God and one another. 

Merciful God,

we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed,

by what we have done,

and by what we have left undone.

We have not loved you

with our whole heart and mind and strength.

We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. In your mercy forgive what we have been, help us amend what we are,

and direct what we shall be,

so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways,

to the glory of your holy name. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

-Silent prayer

-Assurance of Pardon:

To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.

Acts 10:43

You are forgiven and free because of Christ Jesus

Advent 2 Based on Isaiah 40:1-11

Leader: 

Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that she has served her term, that her penalty is paid. 

Congregation: 

A voice cries out: "In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 

Leader: 

"Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain.

All:

'And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken." 

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.  

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, 

and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, 

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.  

-Matthew 6:9-13
