Come

Confession |

|
O Lord, we
have not longed for your coming and your kingdom as we ought. We have not
denied ourselves, taken up the cross and followed you. Instead, clinging to
the things of this world and counting them dear, we have grown callous to the
needs of the poor, the lonely and the suffering. We have not cried out for
justice, nor cared about those who are without Christ and without hope in
this world. Lord, forgive us for our offenses and grant that by the power of
your Spirit, we might live in light of your coming
again. Amen. |

*Affirmation
of Faith |
The 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. |
