*PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Martin Luther)
O my dearest Lord Jesus Christ, you know my poor soul and my great transgressions, and I cry out to you alone with an open heart. I am sorry that I do not have will or intentions as I should and I fall behind daily, for I am a poor, sick sinner. You know that I want to have good will and good intentions, but my foe strikes and leads me captive. Redeem me, a poor sinner according to your divine will. Deliver me from all evil and all afflictions. Strengthen and increase in me true Christian faith. Give me patience and perseverance in all persecution and trouble. You alone know how and when I need your help. Your will be done, and your name be praised forever. Amen.

OUR TIME OF PRAYER & THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Lord, for this joy, we give you thanks.
Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
