God of
grace, you love us, but we have not loved you. You call, but we have not
listened. We walk away from neighbors in need, wrapped up in our own
concerns. By our actions and our attitudes we praise
what you condemn—we condone evil, partiality, oppression, greed. Help us to
admit our sin, so that as you come to us in mercy we may repent, turn to you,
and receive forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our
Redeemer. Amen. |

*Affirmation
of Faith |
Apostles’
Creed |
||||||
|
I believe
in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ
his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the
Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;
he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he
ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand
of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and
the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the
communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting. Amen. |

Our
Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will
be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our
daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us
not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For
thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. |
