One: Siblings in Christ, Let us gather together with glad and generous hearts. All: For God is our good shepherd who calls us by name. One: Let us share our lives in common, giving to all who have needs. All: We are never alone, for mercy and goodness pursue us our whole life long. |

| Prayer of Confession (Responsive) | ||
One: Because God is gracious and became love that lives among us, let us boldly confess our sin before God and one another. All: O Lord our God, you call us to proclaim the gospel, but we remain silent in the presence of evil. You call us to be reconciled to you and one another, but we are content to live in separation. You call us to seek the good of all, but we fail to resist the powers of oppression. You call us to seek justice and peace but we are satisfied with injustice and discord. You call us to bring liberty to the oppressed, but we do not insist on freedom for all. Forgive us, O Lord. Turn us to your will by the power of your Spirit, so that all may know your justice and peace; through Jesus Christ, your Son our Savior. |

For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen. |
