Opening Song: “The Heart of Worship” Opening Prayer Confession and Forgiveness: P: Happy are those whose sin is forgiven,...Let us confess our sin. Silence for reflection P: Lord God, C: you know the ways of good and evil. You know the things that tempt us and the things that give us life. You know our nakedness, and you know our sin. We confess that we have disobeyed your word, denying your justice and compassion and relying on our own cleverness. Have mercy on us, we pray: cover us with your grace, feed us with the bread of life, and re-create us in your image; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen. P: Happy are those whose sin is forgiven...Jesus Christ you are forgiven.
