OPENING PRAYER
We believe in the Holy Spirit, through
whom we acknowledge God’s gifts, and we repent of our sin in misusing these
gifts to idolatrous ends.
We affirm the natural world as God’s
handiwork and dedicate ourselves to its preservation, enhancement, and faithful
use by humankind.
We joyfully receive for ourselves and
others the blessings of community, sexuality, marriage, and the family.
We commit ourselves to the rights of men,
women, children, youth, young adults, the aging, and people with disabilities;
to improvement of the quality of life; and to the rights and dignity of all
persons.
We believe in the right and duty of
persons to work for the glory of God and the good of themselves and others and
in the protection of their welfare in so doing; in the rights to property as a
trust from God, collective bargaining, and responsible consumption; and in the
elimination of economic and social distress.
We dedicate ourselves to peace throughout
the world, to the rule of justice and law among nations, and to individual
freedom for all people of the world.
We believe in the present and final triumph of God’s Word in human affairs and gladly accept our commission to manifest the life of the gospel in the world. Amen.

shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen

A NOTE TO PARENTS
We love children and your little ones are welcome in
our worship service. On those days when
your child is fussy, the parlor located behind the sanctuary provides an
excellent place to care for your child and still participate in the worship
service.
Child care is provided for infants and children up to
2 years old in the Education Building during Sunday school and worship hours.
