Servants of God, praise, praise
We joined ourselves to the alien of a far country, but no one gave to us what would feed and nourish us. We sought food for our wants in earthly pleasures, but they were only as husks to our souls. And now we come back crying, “Why should we perish with hunger, when there is bread enough in our Father’s house to spare?” O God, be merciful to all sinners. Grant us forgiveness. Amen.

*Hymn Come, Ye Thankful People, Come * Prayer of Confession
# 543
O Lord, we would come to you with the penitence of the prodigal son, confessing that we have sinned against heaven and in your sight. Blessed be your name! You give freely of the bread of life to all who seek your fullness, and you bestow a father’s blessing on every returning wanderer. We have wandered from you. We have used the goods you have given us as though they belonged to us, forgetting that our life and breath and all things are from you. Often we have lived as if we had no heavenly Father to thank for his goodness.
Assurance of Pardon Psalm 103:8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
* Gloria Patri Glory Be to the Father * The Kiss of Peace
And also with you.
Peace be with you.

The Lord be with you. And also with you. O God, light of the hearts that see you, life of the souls that love you, strength of the thoughts that seek you: to turn from you is to fall, to turn to you is to rise, to abide in you is to stand fast forever. Although we are unworthy to approach you, or to ask anything at all of you, grant us your grace and blessing for the sake of Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amen.
