Confession of Faith
A New Creed
from the United Church of Canada
We are not alone,
we live in God’s world.
We believe in God:
who has created and is creating,
who has come in Jesus,
the Word made flesh,
to reconcile and make new,
who works in us and others
by the Spirit.
We trust in God.
We are called to be the Church:
to celebrate God’s presence,
to live with respect in Creation,
to love and serve others,
to seek justice and resist evil,
to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,
our judge and our hope.
In life, in death, in life beyond death,
God is with us.
We are not alone.
Thanks be to God.
Amen.

Prayer of Confession
Almighty God,
You love us, but we have not loved You.
You call, but we have not listened.
We have lived for ourselves, apart from You.
We have turned from our neighbors,
both near and far.
In Your great mercy, forgive our sins
and free us from selfishness,
that we may choose Your will daily.
Set us free to serve You in the world
as agents of Your reconciling love
in and through Jesus Christ.
— Moment of silent prayer & confession —
Pour out Your Holy Spirit, O God,
that in Your light we may see light,
and in Your truth, find freedom.
Silence in us any voice but Your own,
that, hearing, we may also obey Your will;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Assurance of Forgiveness
Led by Pastor Jeya
Prayers of the People
Out of the depths, we cry to You, O Lord:
Hear our voice and answer our prayers.
Mighty and merciful God,
Lover of justice and equity,
You call us to support the suffering
and to honor all people.
Our help comes from You, O Lord,
You who made heaven and earth.
In the midst of grief, be our comfort.
In the face of uncertainty, be our Rock.
In the wake of sorrow, be our hope.
We are crying out for justice,
yearning for Your righteousness,
longing for the fullness of Your Shalom.
In this time of pandemic, racial injustice,
natural disaster, anxiety, and fear,
we pour out our prayers to You.
— Moment of silent prayer & intercession —
By the power of Your Holy Spirit,
make us advocates for Your justice,
and instruments of Your peace,
so that all may be reconciled
in Your beloved community.
Replenish our strength, stir up our hope,
and fill us with peace that surpasses understanding;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
