Call to Worship - Dawn Conti
Worship the Lord in holy splendor!
In God we live and move and have our being.
The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty!
Let us open our hearts to listen.
May the Lord give strength to the people!
May Holy Three-in-One bless the earth with peace!
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Call to Reconciliation - Kyle Brinkman
The doctrine of the Trinity is a mystery, yet we believe that God is our creator, redeemer and sustainer. With humility, faith and hope, we confess the things we have done and left undone as well as the shortcomings and injustices in our society and world. Let us pray.
Unison Prayer of Forgiveness - Kyle Brinkman
Holy Triune God, you so loved the world, continue to love the world and will always love the world. Forgive us for our abuse of your created order and its intended harmony. Forgive us for our violence against our fellow creatures, including those made in your image. Forgive us for our indifference and cynicism, and our callousness. Cast out our fear with the faith that you can do all things, and renew a right spirit within us. Amen.
Assurance of Forgiveness - Kyle Brinkman
Hear the good news of the Gospel: God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, we are forgiven, freed and made whole! Thanks be to God.

Affirmation of Faith (Nicene Creed) - Megan McMillan
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God. begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
