Prayer of Confession
Merciful God, we are a proud people. We have been taught to tough it out, to stand on our own two feet, and to not rely on others for help. We forget that these teachings don’t apply to You, that in every circumstance, we can come to You and You will walk with us. Remind us that we can reach out and You are there. Forgive us for thinking that we can do it all on our own, and give us the strength that can only come from You, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Doxology

Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper - Anthem - “Harmony of the Angels” - Rachelle Roberts

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.
