O Lord our God, You are clothed with splendor and majesty. You cover yourself with light as with a garment. You are the Father of lights from whom proceeds every good and perfect gift. You are the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords. It is to You we come. We bow before You in worship. We adore You and praise Your glorious name. Amen.

CONFESSING OUR SIN TOGETHER
Most holy and merciful Father, we confess to You and to one another, that we have not loved You with our whole heart, mind and strength. We have not always had in us the mind of Christ. You alone know how often we have grieved You by wandering from Your ways. Forgive us most merciful Father and free us from our sin. Renew in us the grace and strength of Your Holy Spirit, for the sake of Jesus Christ Your Son our Savior. Let us take the next few moments to silently confess our sins, that we might know cleansing forgiveness and the joy of restored life in Him.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Brothers and sisters, know that in the crucified Christ you are forgiven of all sin and through the power of Holy Spirit are granted His righteousness to stand blameless before a Holy God.
