P:                 God our helper,

C:                 we confess the many ways we have failed to live as your disciples.  We have not finished what we began.  We have feasted with friends but ignored strangers.  We have been captivated by our possessions.  Lift our burdens, gracious God.  Refresh our hearts and forgive our sin. Raise us to the new life you have chosen for us in Jesus Christ, our   Savior and Lord.  Aen.

P:                 There is rejoicing in heaven when sinners repent.  Put your trust in these promises: God will never leave you or forsake you.  You who were lost  have been found.  For the sake of + Jesus Christ, your sins are forgiven.  Rejoice with the angels at this good news. 

C:                  Amen.
