Corporate Call:
Father, we confess to you, and to one another, that we have sinned through our own fault, in thought, word, and deed; Lord we have longed for that which is contrary to your love. For our loves are disordered as we have become enchanted by the whispers of sin. Idols have found their home in our hearts as our love for you has grown cold.
We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We have not forgiven others, as we have been forgiven.
We have been deaf to your call and blind to your beauty.
We have grieved your Holy Spirit.
Lord we are lost and helpless apart from your grace, and it is for this reason, we run for refuge to your infinite mercy, seeking and imploring your forgiveness, so through Jesus Christ, our Lord hear our cry.
Response: Father, forgive us.
IV. ASSURANCE OF PARDON

In Christ, The Almighty God, the maker of heaven and earth, has achieved all there is to accomplish to fully forgive and restore you who have fallen into sin.
