      for the common good. 

Confession 

God of grace, you promise life abundant, but we do not always believe. Forgive us.   

You call us to hope, but we crawl back into our caves in fear. Forgive us.   

You urge us to give generously, but we cling to what we have. Forgive us.   

You command us to tear down systems that oppress, but we remain idle in apathy.  Forgive us.  

God of grace, increase our faith, enlarge our hearts, fuel our commitment, and awaken us to the wonders you work in the world every day. Amen 

Micah 6:8, God has told you what is good and what the Lord requires from you: to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with your God.
