Invocation

Hymn 598: Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah Cwm Rhondda

Prayer of Confession

Have mercy on us, O God, according to your steadfast love. Our sin has been against you, although others have been hurt as well. It is against you that we have rebelled. It is against you that we have been angry – and yet it is to you that we cry for mercy! Even with our best intentions sin seems ever to creep in. Even with our firmest resolve we keep on sinning. Wash us, that we may be clean, fresh, and new. Cleanse us, that we have integrity, that we do right from inside out. Purge us, so we may be pure with a strong purity. In the name of Christ deliver us, O God of our salvation, and our tongues will sing aloud of your deliverance. Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: Isaiah 1:18

Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
