Prayer of Confession
Loving God, we confess that we have put up walls between
ourselves and others. We spend so much time noticing the
differences between ourselves and others, that we fail to see
our similarities. We welcome those who are like us, even while
you tell us to open our doors to the stranger in our
midst. Forgive us our narrow mindedness. By your grace, help
us to see the household you are building where all are
welcome to experience and walk in your grace. (Please
continue in silent confession) Amen.
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. Amen
