* AFFIRMATION of FAITH Rev. Eric Burton-Krieger A Statement of Faith of the United Church of Canada Leader: Where God’s Spirit is, and where two or three Jesus-followers are, There is the Church, welcomed and welcoming, whose faith let us now proclaim: All: We are not alone, we live in God’s world. We believe in God: who has created and is crating, 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 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.
