CONFESSION OF SINS
Not only have we done things we ought not to have done, said things we
ought not to have said, left undone so many things we ought to have done and been
silent when we should have witnessed for You.
Not only are we guilty of that, O Lord; but we have also closed our eyes and
pretended not to see the injustices, the racism and the evil which pervade our
everyday lives.
We have shut our ears and pretended not to hear the cries for liberation
which come from the lips, lives and hearts of the oppressed - even our own Black
brothers and sisters!
Forgive us, O Lord, renew our courage and faith, and keep us ever mindful
of Thy great sacrifice. Hear us, we beseech Thee, as we come to You in love and
worship giving Your name the praise forevermore.
9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9
TO ALL OUR VISITORS ... To all who mourn and need comforting ... To
all who are friendless and want friendship ... To all who are oppressed and need
liberation; and to whosoever will come, Trinity opens its doors. Thank you for
coming and may God bless you.
