We trust and affirm that each of us is created in the image of God.
God’s Grace is immeasurable and God’s will for us is always Goodwill.
We believe that Jesus Christ lived to forgive, to heal the broken hearted and proclaim God’s love to the world.
We believe Jesus bore our shame carrying our sins to the cross where he surrendered his own spirit to God in order to set our spirits free.
God promised that Jesus would not be given up to death and true to that promise God raised him from the dead.
We trust in the counsel of The Holy Spirit who guides us in our efforts to live out the
commandment to love one another as Christ loved us.
We believe the Holy Spirit moves us ever onward toward perfection.
Thanks Be To God! Amen
CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER
Glorious God of all-things-possible, we linger in the mystery and awe of the resurrection event during the weeks that follow Easter. The gospel writers invite us to explore the ways in which the disciples of Jesus responded to the news of his resurrection. Help us to be decisive in our discipleship response as we ponder how best to invest ourselves in the furtherance of your kingdom here on earth. We know it took the apostles awhile to kick start their evangelizing engines, and you were with them in every moment of prayer and reflection. Help us find our natural calling as disciples. In doing what we love to do, cause us to discover that we may be natural evangelists, like Thomas, pastors like Peter, teachers like Philip, apostles like Paul, or prophets like Mary? All this we pray in the name of your Christ. Amen.
UNISON OFFERTORY PRAYER
Gracious God, we ask your blessing upon the gifts we set before you today. Presenting these tithes and offerings is an act of worship as well as our best response to your incredible generosity. May those we minister to through these gifts come to recognize and embrace your empowering and gracious presence at work in the world. In the name of the Christ we pray. Amen
