PRAYER OF CONFESSION Kyrie (Lord Have Mercy) Eternal God, in every age you have raised up your servants to live and die in faith. Yet we confess that we struggle in our call to faithfulness. You call us to proclaim your love, but we struggle to find our voice. You call us to do what is just, but we lose our will and way. You call us to live faithfully, but we are afraid. In your mercy, forgive us. Give us courage to follow in your way, and encourage us through those who have served Jesus Christ with faith, hope, and love. prayer continues in stillness God of all ages: we thank you for the faithful witness of your apostles, prophets, and martyrs through the history of your church and through the world even today. Through their witness we see and hear your truth. Now we pray that you will use even us to reflect the glory we see in Christ that we may be a blessing to others. May the voices of all your saints, made holy in Christ, swell in joyous praise to you, the giver of all good gifts, through Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

PRAYER FOR BLESSING ~ silent meditation THE RESPONSE TO GOD *CONFESSION OF FAITH The Apostles Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
