Elder John Spafford
Prayer of Confession (in unison, followed by silent prayer) Risen Savior, You call us to Your table of grace to enjoy Your presence, to experience Your healing, to be made one with Your people of every time and place. Only Your forgiveness can make us whole again. We confess we have edged You to the fringes of our lives as we have become occupied with countless so-called urgent matters. We confess we have fooled ourselves into believing we are too busy to pray and too exhausted to serve. We have devised clever justifications for ignoring the poor and avoiding those in despair. Forgive us, dear Lord and help us—help us order our days and our deeds according to Your will. Open our hearts to the needs of those who cannot return our favors. Grant us pardon, and comfort us with the assurance of Your Spirit. Then shall we be free to celebrate Your feast of love with the saints of this and every time and place. (silent prayer) Amen.

Pastoral Prayer and The Lord’s Prayer (sung) Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. 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. *Benediction
