L: O Lord, we
want to enter your presence, awed by your majesty, greatness and glory, yet
encouraged by your love. All: Yet
there is a coldness in our hearts, a hardness toward you, an unwillingness to
admit our sin and need for you. There is an indifference in our hearts toward
our neighbor, for those who experience the chains of injustice and the yoke
of oppression. Forgive us, for Jesus’ sake. Come near and strengthen us until
Christ reigns supreme within us, in every thought, word, and deed. Give us a faith that purifies the heart, overcomes the world,
works by love, fastens us to you, and always clings to the cross. In Jesus’
name. 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

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. |
