Notes: |
Litany ending with Hymn: Oh God, my faithful God. The closing prayer of the litany may continue with a specific prayer for a member of the community
or other people who have been slandered. Or the prayer may be followed by a prayer of confession,
acknowledging our own sin of slander and gossip. Conclude with the singing of a hymn of assurance, such
as “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” or “O Lord, Hear Our Prayer” or a hymn of commitment, such as “O
God, My Faithful God.” |
