*Prayer of Confession

 

 

Gracious God, our sins are too heavy to carry, too real to hide, and too deep to undo.  Forgive what our lips tremble to name, what our hearts can no longer bear, and what has become for us a consuming fire of judgment.  Set us free from a past that we cannot change; open to us a future in which we can be changed; and grant us grace to grow more and more in your likeness and image; through Jesus Christ, the light of the world.  Amen.

*Affirmation of Faith

Westminster Confession of Faith (MESV), Chap. V, Sec 1

God—the creator of all things—upholds, directs, disposes, and governs all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least.  He exercises this most wise and holy providence according to his infallible foreknowledge and the free and unchangeable counsel of his own will, to the praise of the glory of his wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy.

Amen.
