CORPORATE CONFESSION OF SIN

All: Our Father, we thank you for your mercy and grace and for not treating us as we deserve. You are a great God, full of kindness and compassion. You have demonstrated your love toward us in that while we were still sinners, your Son died for us. We are humbled that you are mindful of poor sinners and creatures of dust. We thank you for the hope of the Gospel and bringing us into union and communion with you. Though we are sons and daughters, we know that we fall short of all you command us. Too often, we hear your Word but do not do what it says. Therefore, holy Father, please forgive us and help us today to listen with diligence and obey with zeal all you tell us we pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON

Minister:
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
