PRAYER OF CONFESSION                                         

Merciful God, we confess that we have often failed to be an obedient church.  We have not done your will, we have broken your law, and we have rebelled against your love.  We have not loved our neighbors and have refused to hear the cry of the needy.  Forgive us, we pray, and free us for joyful obedience; through Jesus Christ our Lord...

Silent Prayers of Confession

ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS 

Our hope is in God whose steadfast love surrounds us and in whom “is great power to redeem” (Psalm 130: 7).  This power is revealed in Jesus Christ, who promises us life where there is death, and forgiveness where there is sin. The good news therefore is this: In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.

Thanks be to God!

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH        

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.
