Confession
This part should take approximately 20 minutes.
Read by Leader
Our confession time will have a change of tone. In the past we have acknowledged committing sins of the flesh (sins of commission). This time we will deal with sins of the spirit (sins of omission). Galatians 5:19-26
Notes
One volunteer reads Galatians 5:19-26.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath,strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such thinks shall not inherit the Kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Read by Leader
Let us be honest with the Lord and each other and acknowledge how we have not let the Spirit fill us with Himself. (Lack of love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance).
Notes
Each one will confess their lack of the fruit of the Spirit.

Prayer Principle: It is counter-intuitive that these sins are more grievous to God than sins of the flesh.

It is Hymn time.
Notes
Someone picks a Hymn and all sing (in or out of tune).
