In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, the Head of the Church.

Take joy, my King, in what you see

May I be a sweet, sweet child on your knee

L1.  Prayer of Confession-Pengakuan Dosa

With faith and hope, let us confess our sin…………….

The Good Shepherd calls to us. We know our shepherd’s voice, but fail to heed it. Merciful God, to walk paths of righteousness and enjoy your life abundant, we must follow you in trust and obedience.

      Though you beckon us, we go our own way. Though you defend us, we are filled with fear.

You spread a table before us. Our cup overflows. We judge those with whom we are seated. We worry there will not be enough.

      In your mercy, forgive us, Lord. Take us by the hand, and guide us in your ways. Help us to rest in your company, and there 

      learn to be grateful and generous. Amen.

the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. 

He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

      I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection 

of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
