Entrance
Opening Acclamation
Presider Blessed be the God of our salvation: People Who bears our burdens and forgives our sins.
Confession and Absolution of Sin
Presider God of all mercy, People we confess that we have sinned against you, opposing your will in our lives. We have denied your goodness in each other, in ourselves, and in the world you have created. We repent of the evil that enslaves us, the evil we have done, and the evil done on our behalf. Forgive, restore, and strengthen us through our Savior Jesus Christ, that we may abide in your love and serve only your will. Amen.
