*CALL TO WORSHIP AND PROCESSION  From Psalm 36

 (*The congregation standing)

Minister:   Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the great mountains; Your judgments are a great deep; O LORD, You preserve man and beast.

People:   How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures. For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.

*Hymn (p. 142)  Psalm 103

 

CONFESSION OF SIN (The congregation is invited to kneel through the Declaration of Absolution.)

Unison: Almighty God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid; Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen. (Silent prayers of confession are offered.)

 

DECLARATION OF ABSOLUTION

Minister: Our Almighty God desires not the death of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his wickedness and live, has given power, and commandment, to his Ministers, to declare and pronounce to his people, being penitent, the Absolution and Remission of their sins. He pardons and absolves all those who truly repent and believe his holy Gospel. I proclaim, "He has made us accepted in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace." Therefore, I declare that your sins are forgiven in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen..

People: Thanks be to God. Our sins are forgiven in Jesus’ name. Amen.
