Call to Worship (Psalm 121:7-8)
Leader: The Lord be with you.
People: And with you also
Leader: The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.
People: The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time on and forevermore.
Prayer of Confession (in unison)
I confess to thee, my God. I acknowledge my greed. I admit that in the use of my worldly goods I have set myself against thee and thy holy laws. Scarcely, if at all, have I given when the need of my neighbor required it. I confess that I have been untrue and unfaithful toward my neighbor. I have failed to defend his honor and reputation as my own. I acknowledge that my life is nothing else than transgression of thy commandments and an inclination toward all evil.
O heavenly Father, forgive me these and all my sins. Amen.
--Martin Bucer 1539
Declaration of Forgiveness
Leader: The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners (I Tim. 1:15).
People: He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed (I Peter 2:24).
