Confession

God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit:
We have too often exchanged the worship of the living God for idols of our own imagining.
We remember today:
How we have desired domination
How we have been self-concerned.
We have forgotten the undivided Trinity.
We have forgotten Christ’s death on the cross.
We have forgotten the submission of the Spirit.
Fix our eyes on you.
Forgive us in Christ.
Heal us by the Holy Spirit.
Hear our prayers for Jesus Christ sake.
Amen

 Equality
Galatians 3:23-29

What a joy it is to have a Father

What a joy it is to be an heir

What a joy it is to have put on Christ and so to belong

Our brother has died for us

May we revel in his love,

Rejoice in our differences,

Even as we rejoice in our equality,

The offspring of Abraham,

Heirs according to the promise.

Amen

Gender
Genesis 1

Our Father
You have made us in your image
Male and Female
May we revel in what you have made us to be
Treating all people as bearing the image of God
Even as we shine your glory into the universe
Amen
