PRAYER of APPROACH
(Source: PC Cameroon Book of Divine Services)
Merciful God, we humble ourselves in your
presence, confessing our unworthiness and
sinfulness in your sight. We have broken your
holy law. We have not sought first your kingdom
and righteousness. We have been anxious and
troubled about many things, and have neglected
the things that belong to our inner peace.
We have not loved our neighbour as
ourselves, or done to others as we would
like them to do to us.
Most gracious God, you have given your Son,
Jesus Christ, to save your people from their sins;
therefore we plead with you:
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Hymn 641 * Seek ye first the kingdom of God
DECLARATION of FORGIVENESS
Hear the Word of Grace.
The Mighty God has done great things for us.
His name is holy. He shows mercy to those
who fear him from one generation to another.
Thanks be to God! Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be

done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this

against us. And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. For thine is the
kingdom, the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
