A Few Notes About Our Services

Prayer of Confession:

(Pastor): Almighty God, who has now, in the fullness of time, publicly revealed Your Son through the Gospel: we poor sinners confess to You that we are by nature sinful and unclean and that we have sinned against You by thought, word, and deed. We have, by our sins, obscured the truth of Your Son before the watching world. For this reason, we flee for refuge to Your infinite mercy, seeking and imploring Your grace for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ.

(All): O most merciful God, who has given Your only-begotten Son to die for us, have mercy upon us and for His sake grant us remission of all our sins. Renew us, so that all who see our good works might give glory to you. Give us courage to speak of your Son boldly at every opportunity. By Your Holy Spirit increase in us true knowledge of You and of Your will and true obedience to Your Word;to the end that by Your grace, we may come to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
