We have used others for our own purposes, we have spoken hurtful words, we have failed to share Your love with friends and family members and co-workers and neighbors, and especially with those who are different from us. Forgive us, O Lord. Reclaim us and set us aright as we are falling short; and let Your grace enable us to respond to each other with truly amazing gestures of love, in the name of Jesus, Amen.

A Time of Offering Anthem - “Lord of the Small” by Forrest - Unity Choir Doxology Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper 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.
