CONFESSION OF SIN –

Almighty and merciful God, we have erred and strayed from Your ways like lost sheep.

We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts.

We have offended against Your holy laws.

We have left undone those things which we ought to have done;

and we have done those things which we ought not to have done.

O Lord, have mercy upon us. Spare those who confess their faults.

Restore those who are penitent, according to Your promises declared to the world

in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

And grant, O merciful God, for his sake, that we may live a holy, just, and humble life

to the glory of Your holy name. Amen.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON –

“If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives. But for those who confess and repent of their sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense – Jesus Christ, the Righteous One” (1Jn. 1:10-2:1).
