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.   

Sharing of Joys and Concerns, Prayers of the People 

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.”

The Peace  
L:God sent the world his only Son. Since God loved us so much, we too should love one another.  
P:Let us love one another, since love comes from God.  
L:The Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.  
P:(to each other) The Peace of Christ be with you.
