Call to Confession
Anita Parish
Prayer of Confession
Anita Parish
Forgiving God, We confess that we excuse ourselves from reaching out to those who need Your care. You tell us that there will always be people in need. With needs so great, we give up too quickly and fail to try to help our neighbors. (Silent confession)
Have mercy on us, and help us to change. Renew our determination to live as faithful followers, faithful disciples, faithful Christians. Help us to work with You for the well-being of Your creation, that the fortunes of all Your people may be restored. Amen.
Kyrie Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ, have mercy upon us. Lord, have mercy upon us.

*Affirmation of Faith
The Apostle’s Creed Len Turner 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 at 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.
Prayers of the People & The Lord’s Prayer
Len Turner
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.
