Prayer of Confession Father God, today we admit that we don’t spend enough time talking to You. We say we don’t know how to pray, when in truth we don’t like our inner thoughts to be exposed. Help us learn to be vulnerable, not only to You but also to ourselves. Open our hearts and our thoughts as we learn to speak openly to You in prayer, following the example of Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray, 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.
