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.
