Leader 1:
Praise to the Lord. We thank God for all the blessings bestowed upon Taiwan.
Leader 2:
Praise God, the Creator, who created this beautiful island covered with mountain forests and nurtured by the ocean. Taiwan is rich in natural resources.
All:
Let the name of the Lord be praised. May our glory be with us.
Leader 1:
More than one hundred years ago missionaries came to Taiwan to spread the good news. The people heard the gospel and received the grace of salvation.
All:
Let the name of the Lord be praised. May our glory be with us.
Leader 2:
Since the 16th century, Taiwan has been colonised by different foreign forces. The people experienced ethnic, cultural, social and political conflict and integration. By the grace of God, the islanders can live in peace. Taiwan shows great hospitality and is wiling to help and become a blessing to others.
All:
Gracious God, we thank you and praise you. May your glory be with us.
Prayers of confession
Leader 1:
Forgiving God, we confess our sins to you. We sin against you; we fail to take care of the land you entrusted to us and use it in unrighteous ways, causing pollution and the extinction of various species.
All:
Oh Lord, have mercy on us.
Leader 2:
Gracious God, we are selfish and arrogant. We have overlooked human dignity; we ignore the needs of minorities, migrants and immigrants. We hear the cries of the land, women, children and young people, but we have not done enough to respond to the grace that we received. These actions have caused some people to suffer and be oppressed.
All:
Oh Lord, have mercy on us.
Assurance of pardon
Leader 1
Oh God, you are faithful and righteous. May you forgive us, cleanse away our sins and help us live in the light. May you give us a spirit of wisdom and revelation as we come to know you and be filled with love and faith. May you reveal yourself to us so that we may know the immeasurable greatness of your power.
All:
Amen
