Elder Dwight Kellogg
Prayer of Confession (in unison, followed by silent prayer) Holy God, We come before You today mindful of the ways we have attempted to exclude people from Your Kingdom. Forgive us for our judgment of others and ways that have divided us. Forgive us when we practice exclusivity, even though You are inclusive. Forgive us when we refuse to love those who are different from us, even as You love everyone. Thank You that You still remember us and forgive us, even in our sin, even when we don’t offer that to others. Continue to help us grow in love for those we think we cannot love. In Jesus’ name we pray. (silent prayer) Amen.
