God of everlasting love, we confess that we have been unfaithful to our covenant with You. We have worshipped other gods: money, power, greed, and convenience. We have served our own self-interest instead of serving only You and Your people. We have not loved our neighbor as You have commanded. Forgive us, gracious God, and bring us back into the fullness of our covenant with You. Through Christ, our Lord, we pray…                  

The words of the gospel for those who repent and believe:

And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This He set aside, nailing it to the cross. (Colossians 2:13-14)
