Leader: Give ear to my words, O Lord; consider my groaning.
All: Give attention to the sound of our cry, our King and our God, for to you do we pray.
Leader: O Lord, in the morning you hear our voice;
All: in the morning we prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.
Leader: For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with you.
All: But we, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house.
Leader: we will bow down toward your holy temple in the fear of you.
All: But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them,
Leader: that those who love your name may exult in you.
All: O Lord; you cover us with favor as with a shield.
Adapted from Psalm 5

Silent Personal Confession
The proof of God’s amazing love is this:
“While we were sinners, Christ died for us. Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Trusting in God’s faithfulness and compassion, let us confess our sin before God and one another.
—based on Romans 5:8; Hebrews 4:16
Unison Confession
Merciful God, we confess that we have often failed to be an obedient church. We have not done your will, we have broken your law, we have rebelled against your love. We have not loved our neighbors, and have refused to hear the cry of the needy. Forgive us, we pray, and free us into joyful obedience; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
Declaration of Forgiveness
The grace, mercy, forgiveness and peace of Christ, through the Holy Spirit, has preceded us in this moment. We are a forgiven and strengthened people because of the Father Heart of God, the work of Jesus Christ, and the indwelling, unfailing love of the Holy Spirit. Amen

Communion
Let us confess together what we know to be true about God:
The Apostles’ Creed
Friends, what do we profess about God the Good Father?
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth;
What do we gladly proclaim about Jesus of Nazareth?
and in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
And what do we believe about the church and the work of the Holy Spirit?
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
The Wonderful Cross / Cornerstone
Unison Prayer
Eternal God, you have graciously accepted us as living members of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ, and you have fed us with spiritual food in the Sacrament of his body and blood. Send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve you with gladness and singleness of heart, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
