CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE
Leader: Oh God, in gracious love You promise to care for us and all of the earth; in steadfast love You keep Your promise.
Congregation: But we, who so quickly embrace Your covenant, just as quickly betray it; instead of honoring and loving You, we too often offer only contempt.
Leader: We ask that in our sin and disregard of Your promises, You would remind us of Your never-ending love and faithfulness.
Congregation: Reveal to us, through Your Holy Spirit, Your grace that redeems us and cause us to have faith in Your promise to restore us through the work of Jesus Christ. Amen.

When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue them and honor them.” So go from here with joy, confident that the love and mercy of God goes with you.
