Confession and Pardon

-Invitation 

-Unison Confession:

O God, our God,

Send out your light and your truth.

Let them lead us.

Let them bring us into your presence.

Reveal Christ in our midst,

that we would sense his leading,

that we would listen to his Word,

that we would recognize his call.

Anoint us with your Holy Spirit,

that we would sense the truth.

Forgive us our sins, through Jesus Christ,

the Way, the Truth, and the Life,

to whom belongs all glory.

Together with you, O Father, and the Holy Spirit,

One God forever.  Amen.


-Silent prayer

-Assurance of Pardon:

Hear the word of God from John’s Gospel:

This is the message we have heard from God and proclaim to you,

that God is light and in God there is no darkness at all.

If we walk in the light, as God is in the light,

we have fellowship with one another,

and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

—from 1 John 1:5, 7, NRSV


In Jesus Christ, you are forgiven!

#115 All Creatures of Our God and King

Greeting Time

Praying the Old Testament

I will sing of the Lord’s unfailing love forever! 

Young and old will hear of your faithfulness. 

Your unfailing love will last forever. 

Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens. 

The Lord said, “I have made a covenant with David, my chosen servant. 

I have sworn this oath to him: 

‘I will establish your descendants as kings forever; 

they will sit on your throne from now until eternity.’ ” 

Interlude 

All heaven will praise your great wonders, Lord; 

myriads of angels will praise you for your faithfulness. 

For who in all of heaven can compare with the Lord? 

What mightiest angel is anything like the Lord? 

The highest angelic powers stand in awe of God. 

He is far more awesome than all who surround his throne. 

O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies! 

Where is there anyone as mighty as you, O Lord? 

You are entirely faithful.

-Psalm 89:1–8 (NLT)
