PRAYER OF CONFESSION  (From Psalm 130)
Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD. 
Lord, hear my voice! 
Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleading! 
If you, O LORD, if you took our faults and wrong actions into account, 
 Lord, who could stand before you? 
But in you there is a deep well of forgiveness,
 so that you may be held in holy awe. 
I wait for you, O LORD, I wait with deep longing, 
 and in your word I stand, waiting in hope.
My deep longing for the Lord 
 is more than those who watch for the morning, 
 more than those who wait for an end to the night.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON (from Psalm 130)
Our hope is in you, O LORD! 
For with you there is steadfast love, 
 and great power to save. 
It is the LORD God who will save us from all our wrongdoing. 
      Thanks be to God.

COMMISSIONING AND BLESSING  (from Psalm 130)
Wait for the LORD,
I wait with deep longing;
 and in his word I stand, waiting in hope.
Hope in the LORD! 
For with the LORD there is steadfast love, 
 and with the LORD is great power to save.

Go into the world with assurance, hope and promise:
the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ rest upon you - and even unsettle you;
the love of God, creator and giver of life, embrace you - and even confront you;
and the presence of the Holy Spirit encourage you - and surprise you,
this day and all your days.   Amen
