Prayer of Confession
God of grace, we want to be Your people who go and do Your work, but we don't want to go too far, or be in too much danger, or too uncomfortable, or spend too much money, or have to deal with people who are too much unlike us, or who we believe are too unworthy of our time and effort. Help us to just go and do, and not to qualify the calling You give us with excuses and parameters of our own making. Help us to simply to be willing to step out in faith, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Doxology

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.
