THE LAW OF GOD – The 2nd
Great Commandment [Mt 22:39]
CONFESSION OF SIN
[Based
upon The Book of Common Worship, 2nd order]
Almighty
and most merciful Father; We have erred and strayed from Your ways
like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires
of our own hearts. We have offended against Your holy laws. We have
left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have
done those things which we ought not to have done; And there is no
health in us. O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders.
Spare those, O God, who confess their sins. Restore those who are
penitent; According to Your promises declared to us in Christ Jesus
our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for His sake; That we
may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life; To the glory
of Your holy name. Amen.
DECLARATION OF PARDON
[1 John 1:9]
If we confess our
sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse
us from all unrighteousness.

The Nicene Creed
We
believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
And
in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of
his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of
very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father;
by whom all things were made; who for us and for our salvation came
down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin
Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius
Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day he rose again
according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and is seated
at the right hand of the Father; and he shall come again with glory
to judge both the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no
end.
And
we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who
proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son
together is worshiped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets; and
we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church; we acknowledge
one baptism for the remission of sins; and we look for the
resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
