Opening Unison Prayer (please stand) - God of grace, we offer you our lives. We confess that we are often stingy in our gifts of time, of talents, of treasures. We confess our addiction to the drugs of consumerism and that, as your church, we have often fallen headlong into the culture's seduction. Forgive us and free us to joyful simplicity, that we may be signs of grace to your world. Alleluia Amen!
