Object:
Order For Confession And Forgiveness

P: God speaks to us, "I am the Lord, your God, you shall have no other gods before me."
C: Lord, have mercy.
Silence for self-examination and confession
P: Most holy God,
C: you call us to a life of holiness. We confess to you our theft of your good gifts of the land, our hoarding, which leaves little for our neighbors, our slander of others, our hatred of those whom we have named as enemies, and the bitterness of our hearts that comes from such sin. We pray for you to restore us so, that we may live the life that you intended for us.
P: God, our heavenly Father, hears the prayers of his children and through his son, Jesus Christ, he fills us with his Holy Spirit, so that we may live loving him above all others and loving our neighbors as ourselves. As a called and ordained minister of the Church of Christ, and by his authority, I therefore declare to you the entire forgiveness of all your sins. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, + and of the Holy Spirit.
C: Amen.

C: Amen.
Benediction
P: As children of your heavenly Father,
love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you,
