Prayer of Approach and Confession:

God of grace, we come before you seeking to be reshaped into the people you would have us be.

We come, seeking to be enriched by your Word. Help us to be as salt, gently adding flavour to the food of life.

Jesus calls us to follow him. Forgive the times we turn away. We do not always want to make the sacrifices required of commitment.

Hold the cross before our eyes, that we be mindful of our calling to live a life of faith and service.

Mould us in the image of Christ, we pray. Amen.
