*CONFESSION OF WHO WE
ARE The Book of
Occasional Services
O
God, forgive our foolish and sinful ways.
As you have chosen us and claimed us
in our baptism,
Strengthen us anew to choose
Christ’s way in this world.
Give us your Holy Spirit that each
one in ministry
may
be provided with all the gifts of grace
needed
to fulfill our common calling;
through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior
(time for silent, personal confession) Amen.
*ASSURANCE OF WHOSE WE ARE & THE PEACE The Book of Occasional Services
May the God of mercy, who forgives you all your sins,
Strengthen you in all goodness,
and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life.
Amen.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.
To this peace we are called as members of a single body.
The peace of Christ be with you
And also with
you.
(worshipers extend
Christ’s peace by word and gesture)
