Gathering

Confession and Forgiveness

P:                     Blessed be the Holy Trinity, + one God, the creator of wind and rain, field and ocean, the bread of life coming down from above, the power at work within us and this world.

C:                 Amen.

P:                     Before God and in the company of our sisters and brothers, let us confess our sins.

Silence is kept for reflection.

P:                  God of all,

C:                    we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed.  We have thought better of ourselves than others.  We have told lies, said hurtful things, acted in ways we wish we could take back, and looked the other way when action was needed.  In your mercy, O God, forgive us, cleanse us, and heal us, for the sake of Jesus, our Saviour. Amen.

P:                     If anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed way; everything has become new!  In Christ, + you are a new creation: your sins are taken way and you are made new.  Be kind to one another; tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you. 

C:                 Amen.
