Psalm 51:1-17 | On this night, we acknowledge our sin. We admit the ways we’ve hurt one another, the earth, and God. We confront our inadequacies and our brokenness. And, we face the reality of our morality. Together with the whole church, we come before God with broken and contrite hearts: hearts that we cannot repair on our own. But in repentance, we are promised that by God’s grace, we are given a clean heart and a right spirit is renewed within us. So join us this night as we begin our Lenten journey – a journey of confession, and a journey of receiving – and participating – in God’s ongoing work of restoration.
