PRELUDE WELCOME

CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS

Blessed be the holy Trinity,☩ one God,

the God of manna, the God of miracles, the God of mercy. Amen. Drawn to Christ and seeking God’s abundance, let us confess our sin.

Silence is kept for reflection. God, our provider, help us. It is hard to believe there is enough to share. We question your ways when they differ from the

ways of the world in which we live. We turn to our own understanding rather than trusting in you. We take offense at your teachings and your ways.

than enough.

Through Jesus, ☩ the bread of life, you are shown

God’s mercy: you are forgiven and loved into abundant life. Amen. *GATHERING HYMN: ELW #879

*HYMN OF THE DAY: ELW #670

*APOSTLES’ CREED

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.

8

He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
