PRAYER OF CONFESSION Alex GraceyAll: Lord, you have called us to be a family of faith—to love each other as brothers
and sisters in Christ. But often we fail to treat one another with kindness, respect, and love. We speak words that damage others, we struggle to accept those who are different from us, and we continue to put ourselves first.
Silent confession
One: Forgive us, we pray.All: Guide us through these challenges and help us to be the family of Christ. As
your children, help us to reflect your love to everyone in this church, in this community, and in this world. Amen.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON Henry Trapnell
