                  CONFESSION OF SIN
                  Almighty Father, who inhabits eternity but dwells with those who are humble
                  and needy: we confess our sins before you. We have not always honored you
                  as the only eternal God, but have instead erected idols in our hearts. We have
                  not always esteemed you as the incomparable God of all glory, but have often
                  cherished earthly things as more important than you. Help us to return to
                  you, live in awe of your glory, beauty, goodness, and truth. Overwhelm us with
                  your transcendence, that the imagination of our faith would grow and deepen
                  to expect great things from you and attempt great things for you . In Jesus’,
                  Amen.

      Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
                        Give us this day our daily bread.
             And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
           And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
    For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
