Confession and Forgiveness:
God of Mercy and Forgiveness,
We confess that our selfish ways still have a hold upon us.
We have harmed your good creation.
We have failed to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with you.
Turn us in a new direction.
Show us the path that leads to life. Be our refuge and strength on the journey,
Through Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and friend
Amen.
Gathering Hymn: ELW#818 Oh Master Let Me Walk with You.
Prayer of the Day:
Let us pray together the prayer of the day.
Direct us, O God, in all our doings with your continual help, that in all our works, begun, continued, and ended in you, we may glorify your holy name; and finally, by your mercy, bring us to everlasting life, through Jesus Christ, our saviour.
Amen.

Psalm: 139 (Read Responsively)
O Lord, you have searched me and known me.
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from far away.
You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
O Lord, you know it completely.
You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is so high that I cannot attain it.
