Confession and Absolution 

Let us return to the Lord our God and say to him: 

Father, 

we have sinned against heaven and against you. 

We are not worthy to be called your children. 

We turn to you again. 

Have mercy on us, 

bring us back to yourself 

as those who once were dead 

but now have life through Christ our Lord.  

Amen. 

 

May the God of love and power 

forgive us and free us from our sins, 

heal and strengthen us by his Spirit, 

and raise us to new life in Christ our Lord.  

Amen.

Affirmation of Faith 

Let us declare our faith in God. 

We believe in God the Father, 

from whom every family  

in heaven and on earth is named. 

We believe in God the Son, 

who lives in our hearts through faith and fills us with his love. 

We believe in God the Holy Spirit, 

who strengthens us 

with power from on high. 

We believe in one God; 

Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 

Amen. 

 

Prayers 

 

Lord’s Prayer 

Our Father in heaven, 
hallowed be your name, 
your kingdom come, 
your will be done, 
on earth as in heaven. 
Give us today our daily bread. 
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. 
Lead us not into temptation 
but deliver us from evil. 
For the kingdom, the power, 
and the glory are yours 
now and for ever. 
Amen. 

 

Offertory Prayer  

Heavenly Father, you have given us riches beyond measure.   

We can only return a fraction of what we owe you;   

but we ask, Lord, that you will bless our offerings

and help us to use them wisely in your service and for your glory.

Amen
