CALL TO CONFESSION
PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
Holy One, we confess that we cling tightly to the places that feel sacred to us. We build fences around what is familiar, and we guard what we fear might change. We forget that You meet us everywhere - in the wilderness, on the road, in exile, in rest. Forgive us for claiming as ours what belongs to You. Open our eyes to the holiness beneath our feet and open our hearts to Your voice in unexpected places. O Lord, hear now our silent prayers of confession.
SILENT PRAYER OF CONFESSION: We pray in Jesus’ name, Amen
ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS
