SONG OF PRAISE #2 (Red Hymnal)
"Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing"
(Lector only) If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, God who is faithful and just, will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. In humility and faith let us confess our sin to God, using the prayer printed in your bulletins.
*COMING CLEAN BEFORE OUR CREATOR:
Holy God,
We live in an unholy society,
Full of greed and lust for gain.
We confess that too often,
We act like those about us,
Dissatisfied with what we have,
Constantly yearning for more.
Forgive us for storing up goods
Where moth and rust corrupt.
Enable us to find our deepest hungers
Met in Christ, the Bread of life!
Amen.
RECEIVING FORGIVENESS:
(Lector only)
Hear the Good News!
The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance,
that Christ Jesus came into the world
to save sinners.
In the name of Christ, we are forgiven.
