CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS
|
P: Blessed be the holy Trinity, one God, whose steadfast love is everlasting, whose faithfulness endures from generation to generation.
C: Amen P: Trusting in the mercy of God, let us confess our sin. Silence is kept for reflection. |
P: Reconciling God,
C: We confess that we do not trust your abundance and we deny your presence in our lives. We place our hope in ourselves and rely on our own efforts. We fail to believe that you provide enough for all. We abuse your good creation for our own benefit. We fear difference and do not welcome others as you have welcomed us. We sin in thought, word, and deed. By your grace, forgive us; through your love, renew us; and in your Spirit, lead us; so that we may live and serve you in newness of life. Amen. |
P: Beloved of God, by the radical abundance of divine mercy we have peace with God through Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained grace upon grace.
Our sins are forgiven. Let us live now in hope. For hope does not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. C: Amen. |

Announcements
Dear Glory Family,
After much anticipation, lots of prayers and work, we are excited to launch our fundraising campaign - “Fulfilling God’s Vision for our Land: The Next Chapter” - a chapter of expanded ministry to our church family and the local and worldwide communities.
Since our earliest days as a congregation, God has blessed us richly – a place to worship in a beautiful setting, a church family that thrives on joy, a community with both roots and wings. We come from different backgrounds and experiences but find our common ground in our identity in Jesus and the family of faith He has woven us into – Reaching Up…Reaching Out…Reaching In.
You have probably received a package in the mail by now. Please use this to prayerfully consider your financial contribution toward the purchase of the land. You will find this material and much more on the website under the menu item "Land Purchase". Check in often to follow our progress!
