Trusting in God s grace, let us confess our sins together then privately in silence. *PRAYER OF CONFESSION (unison) God of grace and mercy, you create a new order for our lives: service before success, faith before knowledge, partnership over independence, the cross over the crown. Forgive us when we fall into the patterns of this world, rejecting your call through our action or inaction. Forgive us, God, and move us to see the world in the light of your great love. Forgive us, God, and grant us peace. *A MOMENT OF SILENT CONFESSION *ASSURANCE OF PARDON Leader: Listen, the time has come at last. Look, now is the day of salvation!
