  Prayer of Confession Read in unison
Purifying God, we grow comfortable with the way things are
in our lives, in the church, and in the world. We do not always           welcome the new life you offer in Christ, for you overturn our      notions of power and protocol. Sure of our own righteousness, we are critical of others.  Wanting to control our assets,  we hoard the gifts you give us. Forgive us, we pray, for seeking our gain at the  expense of others. Help us bend our lives toward your own life of self-giving and sacrifice.  Fill us, our homes and churches, the whole world, with the abundant love of Christ until all are made new. In Christ’s name, we pray. Amen.
