Confession and Forgiveness

P:                  Blessed be the Holy Trinity, + one God, who brings us safely through the sea, who gives us water from the rock, who leads us into the land of milk and honey.

C:                 Amen.

P:                  Let us come home to God, confessing our sin.

Silence is kept for reflection.

P:                  Merciful God,

C:                 we have sinned against heaven and before you.  We do not fully live as your daughters and sons.  We use your gifts to our own ends.  Forgive us and restore us, that we may resist all that draws us away from you, and be at peace with one another. Amen.

P:                  We are reconciled to God through Christ; for his sake, God does not count our trespasses against us.  Once dead in sin, we are now alive to God.  Once lost, we now are found.  God clothes you in the finest robe of all, the righteousness of + Jesus Christ, forgiving you all your sins and making of you a new creation.

C:                 Amen.
