evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the
power, and the glory, forever and ever.
Amen.

THE LAW OF GOD – The 2nd Great
Commandment [Mt 22:39]
CONFESSION OF SIN [Based upon The Book
of Common Worship, second 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.

*CONFESSION OF FAITH 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.
