Call To Worship: We Bless You, God of All Mercies
All: We bless You, God of all mercies, for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life;
Women: We praise You for Your boundless love revealed to us in Your son, our Lord, Jesus Christ; for the means of grace and for the hope of glory.

Confession: Repentance and Faith
Leader: What does it mean to repent?
People: To repent means that I have a change of heart, turning from sin- fully serving myself- to serving God as I follow Jesus Christ. I need God’s help to make this change.
Leader: What does it mean to have faith?
People: To have faith means that I believe the Gospel is the truth: that Jesus died for my sins, rose from the dead, and rules over my life. Therefore, I entrust myself to him as my Savior, and I obey him as my Lord.
Leader: What does God grant in your new life in Christ?
People: God grants me reconciliation with him, forgiveness of my sins, union with him in Christ, adoption into his family, citizenship in his kingdom, new life in the Holy Spirit, and the promise of eternal life.
Classic Prayer: Carlo Carretto, 1910-1988
You alone are holy, Lord God, Worker of Wonders. You are mighty. You are great. You are the Most High. You are omnipotent, our holy Father, King of heaven and earth. You, Lord God are our every good, all good. Our highest good. You, living and true. You are our eternal life, great and admirable Lord, altogether sufficient, merciful Savior.
