Yes. Lutherans use a general rite of confession as the first part of Worship. This is said by all in unison and then the Pastor announces that Christ has forgiven their sins "In the name of the Father, and the Son and Holy Spirit". There is also a liturgy for private confession with the Pastor, who then makes the Sign of the Cross upon the penitent and says "As a called and ordained Minister of the Church of Christ, I therefore forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit" There is no penance or prescribed set of prayers that is said. The penitent has been forgiven through Faith in Christ during any confession in the Lutheran Church.
