We Confess Our Sin
Corporate Prayer of Confession: from “A Way To Pray” by Matthew Henry
All: We have sinned, Father, against heaven and before you. We have all sinned and fallen short of your glory. We have failed to honor you, the God who gives us every breath and sustains our every step. Against you, you only, have we sinned, and done much evil in your sight. We have not obeyed your voice to walk in your laws which you have plainly set before us, though they are holy, just, and good.
Silent Confession of Sin
Responsive Assurance of Pardon: Romans 5:6, 8, 11
Leader: For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly
All: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Leader: We rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation!

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
