WE GATHER
Prelude
Welcome and Announcements    
Confession and Forgiveness:
Blessed be the holy Trinity, +one God:
the only Sovereign, who dwells in light;
Christ Jesus, who came to save sinners;
the Holy Spirit, who lives within us.  Amen
God of overflowing grace,
We come to you with repentant hearts.
Forgive us for shallow thankfulness.
Forgive us for passing by the ones in need,
Forgive us for setting our hopes on fleeting treasures
Forgive us our neglect and thoughtlessness.
Bring us home from the wilderness of sin,
And strengthen us to serve you
In all that we do and say;
Through Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord.  Amen
There is joy in heaven over every sinner who repents.
By the grace of God in +Christ Jesus,
who gave himself up for us all,
your sins are forgiven and you are made free.
Rejoice with the angels and with one another!
We are home in God’s mercy, now, and forever.  Amen
