Welcome...We’re Glad You’re Here!

*Call To Worship Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. We belong to God. When we feel overwhelmed, God is on our side. When we are afraid, God provides our strength. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. No matter what is in our past or what we face, God is with us. Let us worship God together.

Passing of the Peace Time of Prayer - The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

*Affirmation of Faith We believe in God, maker of all things, provider of all things, who loves all people. We follow Jesus, the Christ, the Revealer of God, who taught us to love, who gave us courage to trust God's grace, and who bid us to take up our cross and follow Him. He knows us for who we are, heals the wounds of our hearts, and makes us new. In his death and resurrection we see the deepest truth of life. We rely on the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, who empowers us for self-giving love. We give thanks for the Church, the Body of Christ, and for the gift of forgiveness, the power of the resurrection, and the mystery of eternal life. Therefore, we devote ourselves to disciplined practice of the way of Jesus in our daily lives, so that we may grow in faithfulness and serve God in humble confident love for the sake of healing the world. Amen.
