Prayer of Confession
Faithful
God, in baptism you claimed us and called us as your own. By your
Spirit, you work in our lives empowering us to live a life worthy of
your calling. Forgive us when we forget you and fail to live as your
sons and daughters. Forgive us when we work against you through the
choices we make. Merciful God, cleanse our hearts that we might be
faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. It is in His name we pray this.
Amen.

Dr. Wayne Adcock LISTEN IN
Affirmation
of Faith
LISTEN IN
This
is the good news which we received, in which we stand, and by which
we are saved: that Christ died for our sins according to the
Scriptures, that he was
buried, that he was raised on the third day, and that he appeared to
Peter, then to the twelve and to many faithful witnesses. We believe
he is the Christ, the Son of the living God. He is the first and the
last, the beginning and the end; he is our Lord and our God. Amen.
