​

PRAYER OF CONFESSION (UNISON)

         Resurrected Christ, we can do nothing to deserve the grace you give us. There is no way we can earn your love; there is no way we can be worthy of your forgiveness. And yet you shower these mercies on us. You, who have taken away the sting of death, meet us where we are, in our doubt and fear, in our regrets and shame, in our delight and awe. Meet us here in this place, and call us once again to trust in you.

​

​

DECLARATION OF PARDON

   God says to us, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore, I have continued my faithfulness to you.

         Christ say to us, Do not be afraid.

We need not fear: we are forgiven, we are loved, we are redeemed!

         Alleluia!
