CONFESS
Family, God’s Spirit gives us a constant source of mercy, comfort, and reconciliation. With confidence in the forgiveness that follows, let us confess to God where we have fallen short.
Pray aloud in unison with others who are gathered, both in body and spirit.
Lord, we confess that we do not take every opportunity to follow you. We become distracted by our own interests when you speak words of guidance. We remain silent instead of speaking your truth to the world. Too often, Lord, we contribute to the brokenness around us instead of building your Kingdom.
Forgive us when we refuse to listen to you. Forgive us when we do nothing instead of what you command us. Give us the wisdom to hear your Word and the courage to follow your Word!
RECEIVE PEACE
Family, receive this Good News. Christ is Lord of the Sabbath and gives us a path to peace. Be at peace with God and one another, for in Christ, we are all forgiven!
