Prayer of Confession
Sacred Spirit: Like kings of old, we posture. Determined to define ourselves against one another, we forget we are called to be one humanity. Like Rehoboam, we can make the lives of our neighbors more difficult. Forgive us. Inspire us as we recommit to live into your dream. Make us like rain that nourishes the earth.
Assurance of Grace
Hear these words of assurance: You are forgiven. God’s grace, God’s dream awaits you. It is full of forgiveness and chances to live as you were created. Share that grace of belovedness with one another.
Passing of the Peace
You are God’s Beloved.
As are you.
