CALL TO CONFESSION
Hebrews 4:14 14Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. So, let us draw near to God with sincerity and confidence, and pray together.

Prayer of Confession: Shine upon us with your grace, that we might see what frightens us and face what threatens us. Flow through us with your mercy, that we might sense your presence, even when we have run away, and that we may know your love, even when we fee most unlovable. Abide in us with your love, for your love claims us and makes us whole. Amen.

Words of Assurance: Even in the darkest of times, the light of God is shining. The light of Christ’s love and mercy are shining now, brightening our lives with mercy and grace.
