2 Assurance of Pardon written by the Rev. Dr. Bertrice Wood. From God Inspired Joy: Service Prayers for Pentecost Seven. Posted on the United Church of Christ Worship Ways Bach gave us God s Word. Mozart gave us God s laughter. Beethoven gave us God s fire. God gave us music that we might pray without words. -From a German Opera House *Unison Prayer of Confession Elder Wayne Casteen Holy God, we confess that too often we have not been open to the rhythms of life you offer to us. We let ourselves be put off your pace and allow ourselves to wander off into our own songs. Too often the melodies of the world confuse us. We have led ourselves and others to paths that are not according to your loving pace and direction. Help us pay attention with all of our senses. Make our dancing faithful; help us take the risks that are part of letting you lead. Pull us back into your rhythms. Cleanse our hearts, purify our hands and steady our feet that we might know and share your blessings. Amen. *Responsive Assurance of Pardon Elder Wayne Casteen Leader: The God of Hosts assures us that if we trust God s Word, we will be led back to the songs that God would have us sing. All: God is eager to show us the path home. Leader: Let us accept the offer of the new song we have been given through Jesus the Christ, through whom our sins are forgiven.
