Prayer of Confession: Gracious and loving God, we confess that we do not follow Jesus in all that we do. We love with condition. We judge and condemn. We cast the first stone, and keep the logs in our own eyes. We do not turn to You as the source of our healing. Open our hearts so that we are able to reveal to you the fullness of our lives – that which is beautiful and good, and that which is hurtful and hateful. Allow us to show it all to you so that you may cleanse us and empower us to be imitators of Jesus Christ in love and service, as we pray in Christ’s name. Amen.

Praise!” (Handel) - Unity Choir Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper Offering and Prayer of Thanksgiving 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.
