Confession:
P:  In the Name of the Father, and the Son, + and the Holy Spirit.
C: Amen

P:  Let us confidently enter the sanctuary of God.
            (pause- did we check our worthiness at the door?)
P:  Lord God...
C: when will be the end of things?
You know, so tell us, tell us, we want to know!
  How much longer will we suffer?
    How much longer do we have to work so hard?
How much longer must we serve others without our reward?
  When will you show us your Glory? 
    When do we get to retire?
      How long till we get there?
Forgive us the sins we can name,
Save us from the sins we don't see. (Pause for reflection)
P:  Jesus Christ has offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins. Our sins are forgiven!  Because of this we can enter the sanctuary of our Lord, we may approach God with a true heart in full assurance of faith, and spur ourselves and one another to love and to good deeds, encouraging one another for the Day approaching. In the name of the Father, and the Son, + and the Holy Spirit.
C: Amen. -wjw

P:  The peace of the Lord be with you always!

C: And also with you!
