Minister: Our great God, you who are eternal and mighty, the only true God, we praise your name today because you have called us out of darkness and into your marvelous light. You have redeemed us to serve you and walk in your ways. Yet, we often stray. We know that you have commanded us to love you with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength and our neighbor as we love ourselves. We confess that we fall short of this command. We thank you for your Son, who fulfilled every demand of your law. Please grant us a willing heart and mind to obey you from a heart of love. We pray these things in the name of the Savior. Amen.

CONFESSION OF FAITH The Apostles’ Creed
Minister: Congregation, what is it that you believe?
All:
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord;
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, 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 sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirt;
the holy catholic1 church;
the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting. Amen
NOTE: The term “catholic” means universal.
