Opening prayer of confession
O God, your love endures forever. Your faithfulness endures forever. Yet we forget to give you thanks. We forget all that you have provided for us. We grumble and complain about what we want instead of being grateful for what we have. Forgive us. Remind us that you love us, and provide for all our needs. Remind us that we have what we need, and we have enough to share. (Silent prayer) Amen. 

Assurance of Pardon 
God’s love endures forever. God forgives us and loves us forever. 
Thanks be to God.
