PrayerofConfession

JohnScott

In the name of the Triune God, we gather for worship. Let us confess the sin that turns us from our Creator.

Spirit of the Living God, you call us to spread the good news, to live the gospel, to teach Jesus’ way to future generations. But we skirt our responsibilities, and fail to act on your Great Commission.

Forgive our silence. Forgive our apathy. Forgive our lack of fire. Help us be bold in faith, loving the world as Christ loves and embodying our Savior’s church. Amen.

AssuranceofPardon

By the grace of the Triune God, we are forgiven. We claim our forgiveness. We rejoice in God’s grace. We respond with love. Amen.
