Hymn - “Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty” - #138 4 verses Prayer of Confession Holy Lord, You call us to be Your people, but so often we are blown about by the latest crisis, by bad news, by our own short tempers, and by the failings of those around us. We worry and fret, forgetting to turn to You in our hour of need. Help us to set aside our jealousy and prejudice, our hurt and anger, our struggle and despair. Remind us to center ourselves on You when all around us seems to be in chaos. Help us to grow even more into Christ’s likeness, so that we can be called Your Holy Children, bearing Your love and peace into the world and into our own hearts, in the name of Jesus, Amen.

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.
