Our
gracious Father, you sent your Son to die and rise
to new life in order that death might be brought to an end
and that we too might live a new life. Yet foolishly, we have chosen death
over life. In our thoughts, words and deeds we have rebelled against you and
your intentions for us. In so doing, we have broken our fellowship with you
whose love is better than life and whom to know is life itself. We have hurt
others sometimes unintentionally and sometimes deliberately,
and have diminished their lives. In so doing, we have damaged ourselves
who have been created to reflect your beauty. Father, forgive us our sin for
Jesus' sake. And grant that your resurrection power might course through our
entire being so that we walk in the ways of love and justice to the glory of
your holy name. Amen. |

*Affirmation
of Faith |
Nicene Creed |
||||||||||||
|
We believe
in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that
is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of
God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true
God from true God, begotten not made, of one Being with the Father; through
him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from
heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly
human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and
was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He
will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom
will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is
worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in
one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the
forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life
of the world to come. 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. |
