WE GATHER
Prelude
Welcome and Announcements
Confessions and Forgiveness
Blessed be the holy Trinity + one God,
who stretches out the heavens,
who sends light to the nations,
who gives breath to us all. Amen
Let us confess our sin
In the presence of God and of one another.
Loving God,
We confess that we have turned from your way to follow our own ways.
Forgive us for the times
We have spoken or acted too quickly;
We have not spoken or acted at all
We have hurt those closest to us;
We have thought more about ourselves than we ought. Turn us around, and give us a fresh start, so that we can live again as your children. Amen
Even when we have done wrong, God makes us right. Even when we have messed up, God puts us together. God’s love never runs out. God never tires of calling us beloved children.
Hear God say to you now:
Your sins are forgiven, for the sake of +Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen

Prayer of the Day
O God, in the transfiguration of your Son you confirmed the mysteries of the faith by witness of Moses and Elijah, and in the voice from the bright cloud declaring Jesus your beloved son, you foreshadow our adoption as your children. Make us heirs with Christ of your glory, and bring us to enjoy its fullness, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. AMEN
