CONFESSION Knowing the goodness of God and our
failure to respond with love and obedience, let
us confess our sins, saying together, Heavenly
Father, you have loved us with an everlasting
love, but we have broken your holy laws and have
left undone what we ought to have done.
11

• We are sorry for our sins
• and turn away from them.
• For the sake of your Son
• who died for us, forgive us,
• cleanse us and change us.
• By your Holy Spirit,
• enable us to live for you
• through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Bible Readings for Today
14

• First Reading
• A reading from Acts, chapter 11, beginning at
  verse 1.
• Now the apostles and the believers who were in
  Judea heard that the Gentiles had also accepted
  the word of God.

15

• So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the
  circumcised believers criticized him, saying,
  Why did you go to uncircumcised men and eat with
  them?

16

• Then Peter began to explain it to them, step by
  step, saying, I was in the city of Joppa
  praying, and in a trance I saw a vision.

17

• There was something like a large sheet coming
  down from heaven, being lowered by its four
  corners and it came close to me.

18

• As I looked at it closely I saw four-footed
  animals, beasts of prey, reptiles, and birds of
  the air. I also heard a voice saying to me, Get
  up, Peter kill and eat.

19

• But I replied, By no means, Lord for nothing
  profane or unclean has ever entered my mouth.

20

• But a second time the voice answered from heaven,
  What God has made clean, you must not call
  profane.

21

• This happened three times then everything was
  pulled up again to heaven. At that very moment
  three men, sent to me from Caesarea, arrived at
  the house where we were.

22

• The Spirit told me to go with them and not to
  make a distinction between them and us. These six
  brothers also accompanied me, and we entered the
  mans house.

23

• He told us how he had seen the angel standing in
  his house and saying, Send to Joppa and bring
  Simon, who is called Peter he will give you a
  message by which you and your entire household
  will be saved.

24

• And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell
  upon them just as it had upon us at the beginning.

25

• And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he had
  said, John baptised with water, but you will be
  baptised with the Holy Spirit.

26

• If then God gave them the same gift that he
  gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus
  Christ, who was I that I could hinder God?

27

• When they heard this, they were silenced. And
  they praised God, saying,

28

• Then God has given even to the Gentiles the
  repentance that leads to life.
• Hear the word of the Lord.
  Thanks be to God.

• A reading from Revelation, chapter 21,
  beginning at verse 1.
•  
• Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth for
  the first heaven and the first earth had passed
  away, and the sea was no more.

37

• And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem,
  coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a
  bride adorned for her husband.

38

• And I heard a loud voice from the throne
  saying, See, the home of God is among mortals.
  He will dwell with them as their God they will
  be his peoples, and God himself will be with
  them he will wipe every tear from their eyes.

39

• Death will be no more mourning and crying
  and pain will be no more, for the first things
  have passed away.

40

• And the one who was seated on the throne said,
  See, I am making all things new. Also he said,
  Write this, for these words are trustworthy and
  true. Then he said to me, It is done!

41

• I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning
  and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as
  a gift from the spring of the water of life.

42

• Hear the word of the Lord.
• Thanks be to God
