INTROIT

 

CALL TO WORHIP 

Come to rejoice with God,

Whose welcome embraces young and old.

Come to rejoice with God,

Whose providence feeds and sustains our spirits.

Come to rejoice with God,

Who invites us to receive God’s new creation.

 

*       HYMN                             Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart                    169

 

CALL TO CONFESSION - Psalm 32

Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

Happy are those to whom the Lord imputes no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. Therefore, let all who are faithful offer prayer to God; at a time of distress, the rush of mighty waters shall not reach them.

With faith and hope, let us confess our sin.

 

Confession of Sin - (based on Psalm 51)

Create in me a clean heart, O God;

put a new and right spirit within me.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love;

according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Create in me a clean heart, O God;

put a new and right spirit within me.

Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have crushed rejoice.

Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.

Create in me a clean heart, O God;

put a new and right spirit within me.

 

DECLARATION OF FORGIVENESS - 2 Corinthians 5:16–21

*If anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation:

Everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!

All of this is from God, who was reconciled to us through Christ,

and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.

In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven.

Thanks be to God!
