*CALL TO CONFESSION
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Our world is coming unraveled, O God, pulled apart from
every angle, because we have each chosen our own way,
forgetting the common good, the universal good, your truth.
We are in need of a way back from the messes we make for
ourselves, because we have, too often, rejected your way to
true peace, true wholeness. We are lost, and we need your
Redeemer to come . . . quickly. (P lease,takeam om entforsilent
