*Unison Prayer of Confession

Leader: I said I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord.

People: And Thou forgave the iniquity of my sin.

People: We know that in Your creative beauty we have not al-

ways behaved in ways that reflect Your beauty. In our rush to get

ahead, we haven’t gone the distance for You. In our desire to accu-mulate things, we haven't assimilated the fruits of the Spirit. In our

love for the world we have lost or love for “the way, the truth, and

the life.” But we are here, Father, to pledge ourselves anew to the

saving grace of our Savior and to the redemption of our Redeemer. Let our hearts hear the promise of the peace found in You. Amen.
