“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me;
for I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.”

Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Confession and Pardon
-Invitation
-Unison Confession:
Let us confess our sin before God and one another.
Merciful Father,
Forgive our sins—
the sins of our present and the sins of our past;
the sins of our souls and the sins of our bodies;
the sins which we have done to please ourselves;
and the sins which we have done to please others.
Forgive them, O Lord, forgive them all.
Of your great mercy and bountiful goodness,
let us be delivered from the bonds of our frailty.
Grant this, heavenly Father,
for the sake of Jesus Christ, our Lord, our Savior. Amen.
-Silent prayer
-Assurance of Pardon:
Who is in a position to condemn?
Only Christ,
and Christ died for us, Christ rose for us,
Christ reigns in power for us, Christ prays for us.
Anyone who is in Christ
is a new creation.
The old life has gone;
a new life has begun.
You are forgiven and free because of Christ Jesus

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Q. What hope does everlasting life hold for us?
A. It reminds us that this present fallen world is not all there is; soon we will live with and enjoy God forever in the new city, in the new heaven and the new earth, where we will be fully and forever freed from all sin and will inhabit renewed, resurrection bodies in a renewed, restored creation.
