*AFFIRMATIONOFFAITH(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.
*GLORY BE TO THE FATHER
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Gracious God, we confess our sin, which separates us from You. We know how people who belong to You should live, but we fail to live that way. At times we have forgotten that we bear Your image and have done evil. At times we have forgotten to live in response to Your sacrifice for us and have acted selfishly. At times we have ignored the voice of Your spirit speaking to our conscience, and we have followed the desires of our own heart. As a result, we have lived for self rather than for You or our neighbor. Forgive us, Father, through Your Son, Jesus Christ. By Your Spirit, guide us to live as people who know and love You. Amen.
