CALL TO CONFESSION
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Merciful God,
we acknowledge our guilt,
and seek your face and your forgiveness.
For we have not offered steadfast love

We have not moved forward in faith,
but have allowed ourselves to be stifled by fear.
Revive us, raise us up,
that we might live before you,
rejoicing in the knowledge of your love.
