Hymn
8 A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Prayer of Confession
O Lord, you have taught us that without love whatever we do is worth nothing: Send your
Holy Spirit and pour into our hearts your greatest gift, which is love, the true bond of peace
and of all virtue, without which whoever lives is accounted dead before you. Forgive us for
our sings, O Lord.  Grant this for the sake of your only Son Jesus Christ, who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
