Unison Prayer of Confession:
    Many: Holy Jesus, you call us to follow you. We want to respond, but our attention
flutters. One day we are steady disciples and another day we are distracted by the
clamors of the world or by our own needs. Forgive our wavering commitment and
make us more reliable disciples. May we each day respond when you beckon,
becoming ever more faithful. Amen.
    One: God is continually creating, doing a new thing in us. Where we have erred, God
brings us back into Gods embrace. In the name of Jesus, your sins are forgiven.

Prayers of the People and The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name,
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.
