Praise be to God! † OPENING HYMN #66 GTG “Every Time I Feel the Spirit” Congregation † INVOCATION Lay Minister, CRE Agatha Wheeler † CALL TO CONFESSION Lay Minister, CRE Agatha Wheeler Beloved, as those who are in need of true and lasting healing, let us, as the family of God, approach the One who heals, saves and redeems us. Let us pray… † UNISON PRAYER OF CONFESSION Gracious, tender God, we bring to you our wounded souls, our selfish impulses, our arrogance. You offer us the kingdom of heaven, yet we settle for earthly pursuits. Your ways are sometimes so simple, as you tell us “wash and be made clean”, but we insist on complicating grace. Forgive us, loving God. Replace our self-centeredness with your vision for the whole world. Restore us once again with your healing mercy, we pray in the name of the Christ.

Silent individual confession

People: This is good news, thanks be to God!
