Leader: Each day is a gift from God.
People: Each moment is the opportunity to reach out in service to all creation.

but inscribed on our hearts with joy and hope.

* Prayer of Confession, Assurance, and Pardon
Leader and People: Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy upon us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your name. Amen.
Leader: Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive all our sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen us in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep us in your eternal care.
Leader and People: Amen.
