INVOCATION
Hymn #398 - There's a Sweet, Sweet, Spirit
Unison prayer of confession
God, our passion for security embarrasses us.
You call us out of bondage, and we long for the predictability of enslavement
rather than rejoicing in liberty. You set us on a course for new life and we
feel drawn to the familiarity of old ways. You encourage us to pursue the
summons of the Spirit, and we turn back to the lure of material comforts. We satisfy our need for security and
forfeit our opportunity for real liberty. God, help us. Please keep calling us.
Make us uncomfortable with any situation other than one that actually helps us
to do love - makes love come alive - lets
love make a difference.All this we ask in the name of Jesus
Christ, our Lord and Savior, Amen.

God
Unison prayer of confession:
Almighty God, we acknowledge the greatness of
your majesty and the depth of our spiritual poverty. We have thought too highly
of ourselves and have failed to give due glory to you. Lord have mercy on us. Forgive our arrogance and selfishness. Help us
to live to your honor by granting your word its rightful place and by letting
the power of that word transform us and equip us – to dismantle evil and heal
the broken, according to the teaching and example of our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ, Amen.

INVOCATION
Hymn #398
- There's a Sweet, Sweet Spirit
Unison prayer of confession:
O God, Creator and Father of all, we know
that your love is over every creature that your hands have made. We know that
your only wish is not to destroy but to save, not to condemn but to forgive. We
know that if we would receive your forgiveness that the only thing we can bring
and the only thing that we need to bring to you are our penitent and contrite
hearts. Save us from everything which would hinder us from having a godly
sorrow for our sins. This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord
and Savior, Amen.
