PRAYER OF CONFESSION:

Holy God, you called all that is into being

And offered humanity life in all its fullness.

Yet we have allowed good relationships to be broken

We have become distant from you and our neighbour.

      Lord have mercy

At times we have failed to speak out for justice

Leaving the voiceless without an advocate

      Christ have mercy

To all who fall short of God’s glory you offer pardon and peace

      Lord have mercy
