For Sunday

Reading of the Law of God

Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6.2

Confession of Sin

Our Father, Your Word is clear. We are to be involved in each other’s lives. We are to be careful to notice when someone is in need. We are to help each other to bear the burdens You place on us. And yet, it is so easy for us to be concerned just for ourselves. It is so easy to neglect the others who are here. It is so easy not to care. Forgive us for this sin. Teach us to care for one another, for Jesus’ sake. Amen.

Declaration of Pardon

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned - every one - to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53.6

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.

The Book of Common Prayer
