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

The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! John 1.29

The almighty and merciful Lord grant you pardon and forgiveness of all your sins, time for amendment of life, and the grace and strength of the Holy Spirit.
