HYMN TO JOY

+ Call to Confession + Prayer of Confession God of mercy, our hearts are restless. We are distracted; we are impatient. Again and again, we lash out at others and fail to show grace to one another. Open our hearts to the fruit of the Spirit you cultivate within us. Forgive us, reconcile us with each other, and guide us back to you. Help us to embody patience with one another, and also with ourselves. For the sake of Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen. + Declaration of Forgiveness Christ Jesus loves us so much that he laid down his life for us and calls us his friends.

If we can forgive our friends, how much more does Christ forgive us.

Friends, believe the Good News of the Gospel. In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! + Response of Praise: Alleluia!

+ Passing of the Peace The peace of Christ be with you. And also with you.
