Invocation
Prayer of Confession (together)
Our Gracious Savior, how many times must we fall before you in repentance? We are so broken. We desire to be holy, but apart from you, we are nothing. Thank you for your forgiveness that is higher and wider and deeper than the ocean. Your grace extends beyond the sky. We confess our sin and failure, knowing that you see us no longer as sinners, but as holy children, chosen and dearly loved. Pick us up, for we have fallen.
Give us your Spirit, Lord. Grant us the power to change, and the willingness to be directed by your Word. We choose to run to you. We are your grateful sons and daughters. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
(A time for reflection, to be ended with the ringing of the bell.)

Affirmation of Faith (together)
We are not alone, we live in God's world.
We believe in God: who has created and is creating,
who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh,
to reconcile and make new,
who works in us and others by the Spirit.
We trust in God.
We are called to be the Church:
to celebrate God's presence, to live with respect in creation,
to love and serve others, to seek justice and resist evil,
to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen, our judge and our hope.
In life, in death, in life beyond death,
God is with us. We are not alone.
Thanks be to God. Amen. (from the United Church of Canada)
