We believe in you, O God, Eternal Spirit, God of our Savior Jesus Christ and
our God, and to your deeds we testify: You call the worlds into being, create
persons in your own image, and set before each one the ways of life and
death. You seek in holy love to save all people from aimlessness and sin. You
judge people and nations by your righteous will, declared through prophets
and apostles.
In Jesus Christ, the man of Nazareth, our crucified and risen Savior, you have
come to us and shared our common lot, conquering sin and death and reconciling
the world to yourself. You bestow upon us your Holy Spirit, creating
and renewing the church of Jesus Christ, binding in covenant faithful people
of all ages, tongues, and races.
You call us into your church to accept the cost and joy of discipleship, to be
your servants in the service of others, to proclaim the gospel to all the world
and resist the powers of evil,to share in Christ's baptism and eat at his table, to
join him in his passion and victory. You promise to all who trust you forgiveness
of sins and fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace,
your presence in trial and rejoicing, and eternal life in your realm which has
no end. Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto you. Amen.
THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE AND 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 debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever.
Amen.
