Reading of the Law of God
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. 1 John 5.21
Confession of Sin
Our Father, You are the only God. You are the only one
worthy of the name. And though we know that, there are so many times that we expect someone or something else to do what only You can do. Forgive us our
idolatry. Change us thoroughly by the power of your Spirit. For Jesus’ sake, Amen.
Declaration of Pardon
Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet
we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced
for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the
chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53.4-5
