    PRAYEROF CONFESSION

    Gracious and Holy God,

    You have brought us to your table and called us family.We are sisters and brothers reconciled by your grace.Yet we fail to extend that same grace to others.

    Instead, we spend our time worrying about our appearance,our position, and our well-being.Though we gather at a table of grace, we let pride rule our hearts.Forgive us. Teach our hearts the joy of walking humbly with you.

    We pray in Jesus name.Amen.
