SONG 1:                                               

LEADER:                             

Let us confess our sins to God and before each other.

ALL:                                     

Almighty God we are often foolish and careless

with you, with each other, or with ourselves.

We confess to you in the presence of our friends

that we have been selfish and sometimes we

have hurt each other.

We ask for your forgiveness, and a new start.

REFLECTION: (Music can be played as we confess to God our short comings)

AFFIRMATION:

We say together:-

God forgives us,

Lifts the burdens from our shoulders

and gives time for us to change.

On the night that Jesus was betrayed

He had supper with his friends

He took a loaf of bread, gave thanks and broke it in

This is my body, given for you.

Do this in remembrance of me

and shared it with them saying:

Drink from it all of you.

this is my blood of the new covenant

which is poured out for many

for the forgiveness of sins.

LEADER:                             

As we share in this bread and wine

may we also share in the life of Jesus.

and receive the Holy Spirit who comes to give us        

peace and companionship.

(The Leader will hold the bread and wine and say)

These are the gifts of God to his Church

We all share this cup, for we all

share in the life of Christ
