CORPORATE CONFESSION OF SIN
All: Grant, almighty God, that you would be pleased to bless us as your adopted children and visit us in our struggles and weakness. We confess our dependence on you, knowing that we often stray from your commands, falling short of all you command us. We fail to love you with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. We do not love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Please forgive us, Father, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We thank you for your Son and his shed blood without which there cannot be remission of sin. These things we ask and pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON
1 John 1:7-9
Minister:
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
All: Amen.
