Opening Prayer
God, with great gentleness and care, you call us to be your people and to do your work. Be here with us today, for we come, asking for your support in all that we do. We need your love, transforming our lives in hope. Be with us we pray. Amen.
Prayer of Confession
Forgive us those times we have tried to live without you. Forgive us our closed minds and hearts to your presence and your invitation to follow in Christ’s way. Reveal your truth to us; repeat your call to us; straighten our lives that we may walk in His way. Help us to rejoice together in what Christ can help us accomplish through His spirit and will. Amen.
