Call to Worship

Oh sing to the Lord a new song,
for he has done marvelous things!
His right hand and his holy arm
have worked salvation for him.
The Lord has made known his salvation;
he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations.

He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness
to the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation of our God.

Psalm 98:1-3

Call to Confession:      Micah 6:8

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Let us confess our sins

Prayer of Confession (unison)

O most merciful God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who pardons all that repent and truly turn to you; we humbly confess our sins and implore you for your mercy.  We have not loved you with a pure heart fervently; neither have we loved our neighbors as ourselves.  We have not done justly, nor loved mercy, nor walked humbly with you.  Have mercy upon us now, Lord, according to your loving kindness; according to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out our iniquity.  Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.  Cast us not away from your presence and take not your Holy Spirit from us.  Restore to us the joy of your salvation and uphold us with your Spirit.

Private Confession

Assurance of Forgiveness:      Titus 3:4-6

But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior.
