Prayer of Confession
One:
Almighty God, mother of mercy, father of grace: You have called us to one
table, but we have pursued our own course.
Many: You have promised
us the abundance of all of creation, but in our greed, and in our envy, the
world goes without.
One:
You have promised us the bread of life itself, but in our pride, and in our
arrogance, the world goes hungry.
Many: You have promised us the waters of peace and justice, but in our violence, and in our discord, the world goes thirsty.
Many: You have promised us the waters of peace and justice, but in our violence, and in our discord, the world goes thirsty.
One:
And now we are famished, too, Lord. Have mercy on us.
Many: Forgive us, again.
One:
Transform us, at this table, and for
this table, and send us from this table as servants of your righteousness, by
the power of your Son, our Lord. Amen.

Affirmation of Faith
Many: We believe in one holy,
universal Christian church, the unity of the communion of saints of the entire
human family. And we believe that this unity of the people of God must be
manifest and active,
in that we love one another;
that we give ourselves willingly and joyfully to one another,
that we all share one baptism together,
that we all eat of one bread and drink of one cup together,
that we all confess one name, one Lord, for one cause, and with one hope,
which is the height and the breadth and the depth and the love of Christ, forever and ever. Amen.
