We want to believe, then life sends us something that turns us into skeptics. We come up against obstacles so large that it is hard to see Your presence. Give us enough faith to move the mountain in front of us and see Your glory. Help our unbelief, in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.

Anthem - “Affirmation of Faithfulness” by Williams - Unity Choir Offering and Prayer of Thanksgiving Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper and the Lord’s Prayer 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.
