For Sunday

Reading of the Law of God

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5.15-17

Confession of Sin

Our Father, all too often we do not use our time wisely. It is so easy for us to try to squeeze too much into too little time or to fritter it away. We so often find ourselves either driven or lazy. And we rarely find the time just to stop and think about You. Forgive us for this foolish use of a precious gift. Renew our minds so that we would know how to make best use of the time You give to us. We ask this in Jesus’ name and for His sake. Amen.

Declaration of Pardon

For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21

May God who loved the world so much that he sent his Son to be our Saviour forgive us our sins and make us holy to serve him in the world, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
