Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word,

not loved you with our whole heart and mind and strength. We have not
loved our neighbors as ourselves. In your mercy forgive what we have been,
help us amend what we are, and direct what we shall be, so that we may delight
in your will and walk in your ways, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Unto him that overcometh shall be given the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the Paradise
of God. On either side of the river groweth the Tree of Life; the Leaves of the Tree are for thy
healing. In the midst of that fair City flows the river of Water of Life, clear as crystal. Who so

Take thou the Leaves of the Tree of Life. So shall thou enter in, through the Gates of the City.
-words adapted from Revelation 2

With the whole church, we affirm that we are made in God's image,

we affirm God's goodness at the heart of humanity, planted more deeply than
all that is wrong. With all creation, we celebrate the miracle and wonder of
life, the unfolding purposes of God, forever at work in ourselves and the
world. Amen.

Love grows in a weary world: the promised feast of plenty comes. The trees shall clap their
hands; the dry lands, gush with springs; the hills and mountains shall break forth with singing! We
shall go out in joy, and be led forth in peace, as all the world in wonder echoes, Shalom.
