The People Pray

God of forgiveness and fresh starts,
you shower us with compassion,
and show us grace with no end.
We thank you for Jesus who through his sacrifice paid our debt,
making us one with you. As we are one with you, make us one with each other. Amen.

The People Confess Their Sin
Tender, loving God, have mercy on us.
We have fallen short of your glory,
We have forgotten your promise:
that you will fill us with the bread of life.
Forget our sins, take away our guilt.
Tender, loving God, have mercy on us. Amen.

God’s Words of Assurance
Hear this; by the blood of Jesus Christ your sins are forgiven.

The Word of God for the People of God

Scripture
Matthew 6:9-12,14-15
9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.

Luke 11:4
Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.

Luke 23:32-34
Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed.33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”[a] And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
