Welcoming My Peace  Rev. Patricia Stout
Almighty God, you have promised to forgive and restore all who are penitent. Forgive the wrong we have done. Set us free from the sin that clings so closely. Strengthen us when we are weak, support our efforts to do your will. Renew and refresh us that we may serve you with glad and grateful hearts. In Jesus

For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
