Singing the Prayer of Confession and Pardon
This sung Confession and Pardon premiered at the Mid Council Leaders Gathering of the Presbyterian Church (USA) in October 2019. While in Baltimore, leaders were invited to learn the sung Confession and Pardon during an opening worship service. Since then it has been used in congregations across the PC(USA) as an alternative approach to a contemplative and interactive Prayer of Confession.

You are moving all around us.
Your voice calling us to serve.
But we are guided by assumptions.
Bias drives our every word.
Be near us.
We are called to be peacemakers.
We are called to tear down walls.
But we cling to our divisions.
Choosing power over call.
Come free us.
God of justice, God of peace,
Stir us from our complacency.
Redeem us.
Grace, upon grace.
