MOMENT OF SILENCE RESPONSE CALL TO CONFESSION For the peace and unity of the saints, trusting in the promise of grace, let us confess our sin to God and to one another.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION God of the covenant, who calls all people to reconciliation, you have made us members of the very body of Christ; yet we persist in wounding that body with our divisions, our suspicions, and our neglect. Forgive us, and teach us to nurture unity and peace. For the sake of Jesus Christ and the world he came to save; Amen. SILENT PRAYER ASSURANCE OF PARDON In the great compassion of our God, the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus has shown us God’s forgiveness for our sins. Therefore, I declare to you In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. Glory to God! INVITATION TO THE OFFERING With gratitude for God’s blessings through the power at work in Christ Jesus, we gather now the gifts of the church for the sake of the gospel. OFFERTORY MUSIC
