CALL TO WORSHIP

Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth; sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise.

All the earth worships you; they sing praises to you, sing praises to your name.

—Psalm 66:1-2, 4, NRSV—

CONFESSION OF SIN

Merciful God, you pardon all who truly repent and turn to you. We humbly confess our sins and ask your mercy. We have not loved you with a pure heart, nor have we loved our neighbor as ourselves. We have not done justice, loved kindness, or walked humbly with you, our God. Have mercy on us, O God, in your loving-kindness. In your great compassion, cleanse us from our sin. Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us. Do not cast us from your presence, or take your Holy Spirit from us. Restore to us the joy of your salvation and sustain us with your bountiful Spirit through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. (based on Psalm 51:10-12)

ASSURANCE OF PARDON

Through Jesus Christ forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. In Christ we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.

—from Acts 13:38; Ephesians 1:7, NRSV—
