CONFESSION OF SIN (repeat as in wedding vows)
We have been empty, let us be filled.
We have been lost, we need to be found fast.
We have been asleep, may we awaken soon
We have been blind. Please!— let us see.
We have sinned. We seek forgiveness.
We have been sinned against. Let us now forgive.
We have lived in silence about violence.
Let us create new community.
The Holy Spirit searches the heart,
Goes down deep!
To bring healing!
Wholeness!
Reconciliation!
To all souls. Amen.

PRAYER OF DEDICATION (repeated as in wedding vows)
Holy Wind who makes all winds that blow—
Gusts that bend the saplings low,
Gales that heave the sea in waves,
Stirrings in the mind’s deep caves—
Aim your breath with steady power
‘Cross Planet Earth, this day, this hour.
Raise, renew the life we’ve lost,
Strong Spirit God of Pentecost.
–adapted from Thomas Troeger poem
