CONFESSION AND PARDON (in unison)Gracious God,

provider of all we need,we are often contentto rely on our own devices,our creativity, our cleverness.

We congratulate ourselves for our accomplishments,and we find that these achievements and acquisitionsdo not fill the deep hunger inside of us.

We long for the Spirit bread you alone can provide.Forgive us merciful God

help us receive the blessings you offer,that we may be your bread for the world–blessed and broken for all.

Pastor: Hear the good news. God’s mercy is plentiful, and God’s grace is abundant. Receive the bread of forgiveness and steadfast love.
