Litany

Our God refuses to shame us. God’s justice delivers us.

Praise God, in whom we seek shelter and guidance!

Our God listens to us. God rescues us from danger.

Praise God, in whom we seek shelter and guidance!

Our God renews our spirits. God is always faithful.

Praise God, in whom we seek shelter and guidance!

We trust our God. Let us worship God, whom we call ours. 

Praise God, in whom we seek shelter and guidance!

Declaration of Faith - The Apostle’s Creed

I Believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, I believe in Jesus Christ,  God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, 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 God the Father; and he will 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 everlasting life. Amen.

Please be Seated

Call to Confession

We all err from doing God’s justice. When we confess our sins, we tell the truth and admit our own power to enact injustice that harms others. Let us pray silently.

Silent Confession

Song   Thank You Lord   

Assurance of Pardon

Jesus promised his followers there are many rooms in a world filled with God’s justice. When we speak truth to our own power,

we make room for God’s just world. This is the good news: God raised Jesus and made room for us, calling us to live out

of God’s forgiveness by making sure there is room for all. 

Alleluia! Amen! 

Joys and Concerns

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
