* Confession of Sin
God who provides our every need, you have given us countless gifts. You have welcomed us for all of who we are. You have showered us with steadfast love. You have freely given us eternal life in Christ Jesus. We do not deserve these gifts. We take them and squander them. We continue to trust ourselves more than we trust you. We fail to embrace others as you have embraced us. Accept our confession. Be our glory and our strength for the days to come, our strength, shield, and deliverer.

 

* Assurance of Pardon
Part of God’s provision for all of us is a well of forgiveness that never runs dry.
Thanks be to God! Amen.
