Confession and Reconciliation
Confession of Faith
I confess that Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of the Living God.
He is my Lord and Savior.
The Commands of Jesus:
Jesus said, “Love the Lord Your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Pause for reflection. Confess to God any sins or brokenness you find.
Prayer of Confession
Dear Father,
I have sinned. I have not loved you with my whole heart, or my neighbors as myself. Please forgive me and change me to be more like you. Thank you for the ways you have already changed me.
Scripture of Comfort and Forgiveness
The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
He does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
(Psalm 103:9,10–12)

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For yours is the kingdom,
the power and the glory forever.
Amen.

Reading & Response
A scripture or devotional reading should be included here. You can follow a reading plan or devotional of your own choice, or you can follow the church reading plan, available in the church foyer, or on the Bible tab of the TCC App.
Take time in silence to reflect on your reading. Consider how it is calling you to respond. It may be calling you to think about something differently, commit to some kind of action, or simply to rest in the presence of God and the truth of what you have read.
