Assurance of Pardon:

      Here the good news.  We read in the book of Genesis that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  As God was creating the world and all that is in it, God took pleasure in the work of God’s hands.  But over time we have destroyed the planet entrusted to our care. But today we are reminded of our responsibilities and our failures.  With God’s help we can do better.  When we fall short, we can accept that through Jesus Christ we are forgiven.  AMEN.
