WE GATHER
Prelude
Welcome and Announcements

       
Confession and Forgiveness:
In the name of God the Father of Glory
In the name of God the + Son, our Redeemer;
In the name of God the holy and life-giving Spirit.  Amen
The Sun of righteousness shall rise
with shining beams of healing.
Let us gather under the wings of God’s mercy.
Gracious God,
We acknowledge that we are sinners and we confess our sins—those known and to us that burden our hearts, and those unknown to us but seen by you.
We know that before you nothing remains hidden,
And in you everything is revealed.
Free us from the slavery of sin;
Liberate us from the bondage of guilt;
And work in us that which is pleasing in your sight;
For the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.   Amen.
With a heart full of mercy and compassion,
Christ, the dawn from on high, shines upon us and by the light of Holy Spirit
Guides our feet into the way of peace. Amen
