Passing the Peace of Christ

PRAISE HYMN: “You Are My All In All” [insert]

PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Almighty God: you have lifted up our Lord Jesus from death into life eternal. We confess that we have not always followed him, or acknowledged his rule in our lives. Many times we have followed the way of the world. Forgive us, O God, and lift us out of sin. Make us men and women who live to praise you, and to obey the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the King of the world and head of the church his body. Amen.
