Invocation
Hymn 78: O Bless the Lord, My Soul St. Michael
Prayer of Confession
O Lord, You are our Father. We are Your children. We are the clay, You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hands. Forgive us, Lord, for having corrupted Your good creation. Gracious Lord, You alone are righteous and holy, and in Your presence no one can stand. Your gracious mercy is our only hope and we ask for Your forgiveness. We pray for Your cleansing touch to wash away our corruption, and to clothe us in the righteousness that may only be found by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, in whose holy name we pray. Amen.
The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: 1 Peter 2:24–25
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
