Prayer of Confession
Gracious and loving God, whose mercy is from everlasting to everlasting; we confess to You today that we gravitate toward people who look like us and who act like us. In so doing, Lord, we miss so much of your creation and fail to learn from others. Our lives grow smaller, limiting our ability to have an impact for Your Kingdom. Forgive us, we pray, for these and the other sins that prevent us from open fellowship with You and others. We share our sins with You now in silence…

Our Stephen Ministers are trained, caring Christian listeners who support others in times of deep personal need to help bring about God’s healing in some of life’s hardest situations like divorce or loss of a loved one.
