Reading of the Law of God
Put on then, as
God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility,
meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint
against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you
also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything
together in perfect harmony. Colossians 3.12-14
Confession of Sin
Our Father, we hear
Your Law and what it calls us to be: compassionate, kind, humble, meek,
patient, forbearing, forgiving, loving. We stand condemned for all the times we
have chosen not to be what You call us to be. As we remember these sins of
ours, we are ashamed. You deserve better. Only because of the multitude of Your
promises, we are bold to ask again for forgiveness. Forgive and change us so
that we might walk as Jesus walked. Amen.
Declaration of Pardon
Once you were not a
people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now
you have received mercy. 1 Peter 2:10
The Lord enrich you
with his grace, and nourish you with his blessing; the Lord defend you in
trouble and keep you from all evil; the Lord accept your prayers, and absolve
you from your offences, for the sake of Jesus Christ, our Saviour.
