CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS                                      p 117

P:     In the name of the Father, and of the + Son, and of the Holy Spirit. 

C:    Amen.

P:     As God's beloved children, let us call to mind our sin and our need for reconciliation with God and one another.

Silence is kept for reflection.

P:     Strong and faithful God.

C:  We confess that we have not lived as your holy people in the world. We have closed our hearts to your love. We have resisted your light. We have failed to proclaim your mercy.       Forgive what we have done and what we have left undone, heal us with your abundant grace, and help us walk as children of the light. Amen.

P:  In the mercy of almighty God, Jesus Christ was given to die for us and for his sake God gorgives us all our sins.  As a called and ordained minister of the church of Christ, and by his authority, I         therefore declare to you the entire forgiveness of all your sins, in the name of the Father, and of the + Son, and of the Holy Spirit. 

C:    Amen.

APOSTLES' CREED                                                                 p. 127

I believe in God, the Father almighty,

creator of heaven and earth. 

I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son,

           our Lord,

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the virgin Mary, 

suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died, and was buried;

he descended to the dead. 

On the third day he rose again;

he ascended into heaven,

he is seated at the right hand of the Father,

and he will come again to judge the

      living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. Amen
