Confession and Forgiveness
L: Blessed be the holy Trinity, +one God, whose steadfast love endures forever.
C: Amen.
L: Let us confess our sin in the presence of God and of one another.
(silence is kept for reflection)
L: Most merciful God,
C: we confess that we have not followed your path but have chosen our own way. Instead of putting others before ourselves, we long to take the best seats at the table. When met by those in need, we have too often passed by on the other side. Set us again on the path of life. Save us from ourselves and free us to love our neighbors. Amen.
L: Hear the good news! God does not deal with us according to our sins but de-lights in granting pardon and mercy. In the name of + Jesus Christ, your sins are forgiven. You are free to love as God loves.
C: Amen.
L: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion
of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
C: And also with you.
This is the feast...
L: Let us pray:
All: Almighty Creator and ever-living God: we worship your glory, eternal Three-in-one, and we praise your power, majestic One-in-Three. Keep us steadfast in this faith, defend us in all adversity, and bring us at last into your presence, where you live in endless joy and love, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Sermon
(Please Stand)
Hymn # 412 “Come, Join the Dance of Trinity”
L: With the whole church, let us confess our faith:
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven; was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the scrip-tures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Fa-ther. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the for-giveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen
