Confessional Prayer

Almighty God, we are sinners.
Your Word and our hearts confirm that to us.
We have done things You have forbidden and left undone things You have commanded.
We have not loved You with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strength.
We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
As judge of the whole earth, You would be just to condemn us.
Yet, in Your love You sent Christ to bear the guilt of our sin and suffer our punishment.
To Him, now we flee; forgive us for His sake, and by Your Spirit, help us to live in the light of His sacrifice, lives worthy of Your name.
Judge us not according to our work but according to Your mercy in Jesus Christ.
For in Him we hope and in Him we come before You this day. Amen.

The Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, Our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again 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.
