Eternal God: We confess that we have too often acted as if we can earn your love and have forgotten your free gift of grace. We want to impress you and others, but we have lost our way. Forgive us when we forget that we are your children and find our identity in the messages of our culture rather than your Word. Help us to live as your heirs, children who belong to you, who you love more than we can understand. Show us how to love and trust you with all our hearts. Through Christ our brother and Lord, we pray. Amen.

I believe in God the Father almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

ANTHEM My Jesus, I Love Thee Adoniran Gordon, arranged by Dan Forrest
My Jesus, I love thee; I know thou art mine. For thee all the follies of sin, I resign. My gracious Redeemer, my Savior, art thou, if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ‘tis now. I’ll love thee in life, I will love thee in death, and praise thee as long as thou lendest me breath; and say when the death dew lies cold on my brow, if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ‘tis now. In mansions of glory and endless delight, I’ll ever adore thee in heaven so bright. I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ‘tis now.
