Confession |

|
Almighty
and most merciful father, we are thankful that your mercy is higher than the
heavens, wider than our wanderings, deeper than all our sin. Forgive our
frivolous attitude toward life, our callousness toward suffering, our envy of
those who have more than we have, our obsession with creating a life of
constant pleasure, our indifference to the treasures of heaven, our neglect
of your wise and gracious law. Help us change our way of life so that we may
desire what is food, love what you love, and do what you command, through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. |

*Affirmation of
Faith |
The Apostle’s
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. |
