Prayer of Confession (In unison, followed by silent prayer) Ever present God, when we feel we are without faith, do not let us feel shame. Instead, let us turn to our neighbor and confess, “I am lost.” And let that one say, “Stay with me. Your People are my people. My God is your God.” The faith of one can carry many for a time. Confident in God’s grace alive in this community, let us be honest when we feel distant. Together, let us turn back to God and be found in grace. (silent prayer) Amen. Affirmation of Grace Ministry of Music
