Assurance of Pardon
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.

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.”

Food Pantry – December 17

- The food pantry is in need of: Rice mixes, Pasta, and Soup
- We also need more volunteers to help out on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month! Three or four more would be ideal!
Remembrance Sunday – December 20
- The holidays are usually a time of celebration with families and friends, but for some, this year will be especially difficult because they are missing a loved one. A loved one we cannot talk to, hug, and share a laugh with. Whether the absence is recent or years old, it exists; it is real and harder for some than others.
- For this reason, we set aside one Sunday during Advent to remember those loved ones.
- On Sunday, December 20, we will end our service with the lighting of a candle while music is played. All are invited to light a candle at home as well for a loved one. These candles are a symbol of love, hope, and peace.
