Suitable for any time of confession, but especially for a congregation recommitting itself as it pledges to support its Confirmands.
Call to Confession
Blessed is God, revealed to us in the
presence of Christ, who redeems,
restores, and renews us. God brings us
out of bondage into freedom, God
delivers us from darkness into light.
Unison Prayer of Confession
Loving God of all creation, your
tender work with us is never finished.
Forgive us for errant ways,
thoughtless words and deeds, for
moments we’d take back if we could.
We trust in you for forgiveness,
healing, and renewal. We commit
ourselves to a better path, the one
you call us to, and we thank you for
your constant presence at our side.
Strengthen us, invigorate us,
illuminate our vision, open our eyes,
our minds, our hearts in Jesus’ name.
We take a moment now to recommit
ourselves to you.
Moment of slient confession, reflection, or committment.
Assurance of Grace
In Jesus Christ, God knows and
receives us as we are. Listen, give
thanks, and live in freedom, joy, and
trust. Amen.
