*CALL AND LITANY OF CONFESSION

Let us call upon the Lord who loves us and who beckons the poor in spirit to come, that we might find new life. Not in fear but in hope.

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

Forgiving God, we confess that we have failed to allow the flames of Your Holy Spirit to rekindle warmth and love among us. We have fostered division and failed to seek reconciliation. We have claimed privilege at the price of those whom You love, and counted ourselves as Your most treasured. Through the rushing winds of Your Spirit, revive us, we pray. By Your purifying fire, cleanse us for life in community, that we might live in the freedom for which You created us. Amen.

*THE ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS

Leader:

Breathe deep the air of mercy and forgiveness. By the power of the Holy Spirit, walk in confidence, hope and peace, and share God’s good news with all. Friends, Believe the Good News of the Gospel!

All:

In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven!

SELWYN AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH WARMLY WELCOMES ALL WHO VISIT Please take a moment to sign the registry of friendship as it is passed along your pew so that you may be greeted and greet others by name. If you are actively searching for a new church home, we invite you to fill out the card in the pew rack and place it in the offering plate, or bring it after worship to one of the ministers. Membership is by one of three paths: 1) profession of faith in Jesus Christ (for those who have never been part of a Christian church); 2) reaffirmation of faith (for those who formerly were part of a congregation but have not been involved in recent times - for example, you were baptized and/or confirmed but moved away for military service, education, or work, and never engaged with a new congregation); or 3) transfer of membership from another congregation (you have recently moved to this area and your membership is still elsewhere, or you simply seek to become part of Selwyn Avenue Presbyterian Church in your faith journey). New members and prospective members are invited to participate in Orientation Conversations, which are scheduled several times a year, and are a wonderful way to meet others and learn together about all the opportunities here. We always stand ready to be in communication with you about your particular situation. The contact information for all staff members is in the bulletin each week.
