Elder Suzy Lidstrom

Prayer of Confession Eternal God, through long generations You prepared a way in our world for the coming of Your Son, and by Your Spirit you are still bringing the light of the gospel to darkened lives. We confess that we have not expected the fullness of Your kingdom among us. We have lived casual lives and ignored the promises of Your peace, healing, and justice. Help us to wait with eager expectation for the hope of Your promises to be fulfilled. Renew us so that we may welcome Jesus Christ to rule our thoughts and claim our love, as the Lord of lords and King of kings, to whom be glory forever. (Silent prayer) Amen. Affirmation of Grace

Pastoral Prayer and the Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who 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.
