Silent Prayer of Confession
Sung Response & Assurance
of Pardon
“Lord have
mercy upon us. Christ have mercy upon us. Lord have mercy upon us.”
Glory to the Father
“Glory be to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost; as it was
in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.”
An Affirmation of Faith
(unison)
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 Mary, 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.

Great Thou Art” | OBQ

not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the
power, and the glory, forever. Amen.”
