Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our
whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we
humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your name. Amen.
All pray in silence.
Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen
you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.

FAMILY MINISTRY MINUTE
Healing takes time. But it cannot be
completed until it is started. For
families to be healthy we must each
respond as God works steadily and
lovingly. Psalm 25:5,18 says, "...On
You I wait all the day...Look on my
affliction and my pain and forgive all
my sins."
