Sing together! Celebrate God!
God protects us from all our trouble.

Therefore let all God’s people pray with thanksgiving and worship God.

Confessing
Lord, our desire for control has separated us from you.
In our stubborn independence, we have turned from your love.
We hide our failure and guilt, yet we feel their weight both day and night.
Here and now ... we acknowledge our sins before you and reveal our transgressions.
We confess to the Lord ...

Confessing
Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven.
Our slate is wiped clean.
We are free to follow Jesus in obedience and experience love in every test.
Amen.

Sending
Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the Lord’s unfailing love surrounds those who trust in God.
Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous.
Sing, all you who have been forgotten.
For the Lord’s unfailing love surrounds those who trust in God. 
