PRAYER OF CONFESSION – Simeon, AD 1022
O my Creator! Consume the thorns of all my offenses. Make clean my soul, make holy my mind, ever keep watch, guard and protect me from every act and word that destroys the soul. By the grace of Jesus Christ, set the temple of my life in order, no more a temple of sin, but a worthy dwelling of your Holy Spirit…
Silent Prayers of confession
WORDS OF ASSURANCE – 1 John 1:9
Remember the words of Scripture, where it says, “If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Hear then Christ’s word of grace to us: Our sins are forgiven.
Thanks be to God!

*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.
*“catholic” (little c) is translated as “universal” and is not a reference to the Roman Catholic Church.
