|
God of
glory, you sent Jesus among us as the light of the world to reveal your love
for all people. We confess that our sins and pride hide the brightness of
your light. We turn away from the poor; we ignore cries for justice; we do
not strive for peace. In your mercy, cleanse us of our sin, and pour out the
gifts of your Spirit, that, forgiven and renewed, we may show forth your
glory shining in the face of Jesus Christ. Amen. |

*Affirmation
of Faith |
The 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. |
