Prayer of Confession and Passing of the Peace - Megan McMillan 

Holy God, Maker of all, / Have mercy on us.  

Jesus Christ, light of the world, / Have mercy on us. 

Holy Spirit, breath of life, / Have mercy on us.  

Let us in silence remember our own faults and failings. Silence is kept.  

In the community of Christ’s Church and in the presence of all God’s people, we confess to God that we have sinned in thought, word and deed. We have not loved God, cared for God’s world, or respected God’s people as we should. We own our responsibility and pray for God’s pardon.  

May God forgive you, Christ befriend you, and the Spirit renew and change your life. Amen. 

Turn again, O Lord, and give us life / That your people may rejoice in you.  

Give us the joy of your help / May your spirit of freedom sustain us.  

May mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance. The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.  / And also with you.
