Our Father, in heaven, we have not kept Your name sacred and holy. We have turned aside from Your will. We have not shared with those who are hungry or in need. We have not been forgiving of others. We have welcomed temptations and often forsaken You. Forgive us, and teach us to live as You desire. In the name of Christ we pray, Amen.

For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory. Amen
RESPONSE TO THE WORD OF GOD
*affIRMATION OF FAITH (Unison) 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 Spirit, 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 sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy catholic church, the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
