CALL TO WORSHIP
We praise you, Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer, for your works of great love.
In our history, you have guided our steps through seasons of both light and darkness.
You have called us to seek a “more perfect union,” daring us to believe that the greatest joy is found in love and justice.
Let us lift our hearts in thanksgiving to the One whose peace and grace endure.
People of God, let us praise the Lord!
The Lord’s name be praised!

*Affirmation of our Faith – The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty
Maker of Heaven and Earth
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
Born of the Virgin Mary
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried
He descended into hades
The third day he rose again from the dead
He ascended into Heaven
And sitteth on the right hand of God
the Father Almighty
From thence he shall come
to judge the quick and the dead
I believe in the Holy Spirit
The holy Christian Church
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body,
And the life everlasting. Amen.
