Prayer of Confession

Heavenly Father, loving King, our thoughts and motives, our words and actions cannot be hidden from Your sight. Our pride and self-pity, our cowardice and sloth, our anger and envy are laid bare before Your eyes. We open ourselves to You and humbly ask for Your forgiveness. Do not look upon our wrongdoing but cover us in the righteousness of Christ. Reassure us that His blood is our peace, His death is our freedom, and His Spirit is our power; and let our hearts know that in Your service is perfect freedom. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

The Gospel’s Assurance of Pardon: 1 John 4:10

In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Doxology 733 Lasst Uns Erfreuen

Praise God from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below; alleluia, alleluia!
Praise him above, ye heav’nly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
