Light a candle

We want to mark this time & space as sacred. If you have young kids, you can forgo this portion or blow out the candle as necessary.

Confession of Faith

A New Creed
from the United Church of Canada

We are not alone,
we live in God’s world.

We believe in God:
who has created and is creating,
who has come in Jesus,
the Word made flesh,
to reconcile and make new,
who works in us and others
by the Spirit.

We trust in God.

We are called to be the Church:
  to celebrate God’s presence,
  to live with respect in Creation,
  to love and serve others,
  to seek justice and resist evil,
  to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,
our judge and our hope.

In life, in death, in life beyond death,
God is with us.
We are not alone.
Thanks be to God.
Amen.

Bless Younger Children to Play

Led by Pastor Jeya

Prayer of Confession

God of all grace,
You offer us more than we could ever ask,
blessing us beyond compare.
You feed us with compassion,
hold us up with hope,
and clothe us with grace.

You call us to love our neighbors,
but all too often,
we pay more attention to our own survival
than to the well-being of those around us.
We confess our sin and our need for You.
God, have mercy on us and forgive us.

— Moment of silent prayer & confession —

Help us to be messengers
of humility, patience, and peace.
Bind us together with You and with one another
so that we may follow the risen Lord
who feeds us and holds us up,
in whose name we pray.
Amen.

Assurance of Forgiveness

Led by Pastor Jeya

Prayers of the People

We give thanks to the Lord who is good.
God’s love is everlasting.
We praise God with joy and thanksgiving,
for gifts great and small, seen and unseen.

We will take a couple of minutes to share in breakout rooms: ten things for which you’re grateful to God (try to be specific!). Please be ready to return to the main room and share by typing into the chat boxes.

We thank and praise You, God,
for all Your goodness to us.
[Prayers of gratitude from chat box]
We give thanks to the Lord who is good.
God’s love is everlasting.
Amen.
