CONFESSION OF SIN
“Have mercy on us, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out our transgressions. Wash us thoroughly from our iniquity, and cleanse us from our sin. For we know our transgressions, and our sin is ever before us. Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us. Restore to us the joy of our salvation, and uphold us with a willing spirit, for we ask it all in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

ASSURANCE OF PARDON
“The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.” (Psalm 103)

CONFESSION OF FAITH
I believe in God, the Father almighty, 
creator of heaven and earth.
 
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, 
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, 
was crucified, died, and was buried; 
he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. 
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
 
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.

CONFESSION OF SIN
“Our Father, we thank you that through Jesus Christ our Lord you have brought us from death to life. Yet we confess that we often live as if we are still dead in sin. Our old habits die hard. Our thoughts are impure, our desires ungodly and our actions often betray your commandments. Have mercy upon us, we pray. Forgive these and all of our sins. Help us to walk in the light, casting off everything that hinders the life which you have purposed for us and to count all things as rubbish in order that we may gain Christ and be found in Him. For we pray in His glorious name, Amen.”
