Welcome & AnnouncementsConfession & Forgiveness
Blessed be the Holy Trinity, + one God: the eternal voice from heaven, the anointed and beloved one, the Spirit moving over the waters. Amen.As we approach the mystery of God, let us come in confession, trusting the love of Christ crucified and risen.
A brief silence for reflectionGod who searched us and knows us,You have shown us what is good, but we have looked to other lights to find our way. We have not been just in our dealings with others. We have chosen revenge over mercy. We have promoted ourselves instead of walking humbly with you. Forgive us our sin, and show us your salvation in the face of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.Beloved of God, you have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is from God, poured out for you in the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. Receive the promise of baptism: you are God’s child, + your sins are forgiven. Rejoice and be glad! Amen.

O God our Father, at the baptism of Jesus you proclaimed him your beloved Son and anointed him with the Holy Spirit. Make all who are baptized into Christ faithful to their calling to be your daughters and sons, and empower us all with your Spirit, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
