INVITATION TO HOLY COMMUNION
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
We have failed as your church, O God. You call us to live faithfully, act justly and bring peace to the earth. Instead, our lives and your church reflect more of our needs and worries and less of the needs and worries of all peoples. Move us beyond ourselves to hear the cry of the world and to respond with acts and deeds of kindness, mercy and justice. May your grace shine through a church that, even with its shortcomings, accepts the call of Christ to serve and care and love and bring peace. May we feel your forgiving spirit now. Amen.
SILENT PRAYER
WORDS OF ASSURANCE
Jesus spoke words that, no matter how many times we hear them, have more meaning than we can fully grasp: This is my body broken for you and my blood poured out for you for the forgiveness of sins. Let us receive all that Christ offers to us and be thankful.
People: Amen.
