INVITATION TO HOLY COMMUNION
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
O God, our refuge and fortress, forgive us when we fail to trust in you. We fall to temptation; we are swayed by false words; we speak false words of our own. We choose our ease and comfort over your demanding claims upon us and upon the world. In turning from you, we settle for less than the abundant generosity you intend. Forgive us, we pray. Do not let us be put to shame, O God. Hear us as we call to you and show us your salvation. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
SILENT PRAYER
WORDS OF ASSURANCE
Leader: Scripture declares, The Lord is generous to all who call on God’s name. Friends, believe the good news:
God does not turn away from us, but desires to bring us into the glorious freedom offered in Jesus Christ. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
People: Thanks be to God!
