Prayer of Confession (in unison, followed by silent prayer) God of Forgiveness, our greed and our lust for power create enemies where we should find friends. We fail to offer comfort and aid to those who are afraid and beat down by the burdens of life. We are as blind and willful as Saul to the pain and destruction of our wrongdoings and our well-meaning crusades. Forgive us, merciful One. Give us sight to see with Your eyes, that we may bring hope and peace to our world. (silent prayer) Amen. Affirmation of Grace

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen. *Closing Hymn
