    In life and in death we belong to God.

    Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,


    the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit,
    we trust in the one triune God, the Holy One of Israel, whom alone we worship and
    serve.
    We trust in Jesus Christ, fully human, fully God. Jesus proclaimed the reign of
    God: preaching good news to the poor and release to the captives, teaching by word
    and deed and blessing the children, healing the sick and binding up the
    brokenhearted, eating with outcasts, forgiving sinners, and calling all to repent and
    believe the gospel.
    Unjustly condemned for blasphemy and sedition, Jesus was crucified,
    suffering the depths of human pain and giving his life for the sins of the world. God
    raised this Jesus from the dead, vindicating his sinless life, breaking the power of
    sin and evil, delivering us from death to life eternal.
    We trust in God, whom Jesus called Abba, Father. In sovereign love God created
    the world good and makes everyone equally in God's image male and female, of
    every race and people, to live as one community.
    But we rebel against God; we hide from our Creator. Ignoring God's
    commandments, we violate the image of God in others and ourselves, accept lies as
    truth, exploit neighbor and nature, and threaten death to the planet entrusted to our
    care. We deserve God's condemnation. Yet God acts with justice and mercy to
    redeem creation.
    In everlasting love, the God of Abraham and Sarah chose a covenant people to bless
    all families of the earth. Hearing their cry, God delivered the children of Israel from
    the house of bondage. Loving us still, God makes us heirs with Christ of the
    covenant. Like a mother who will not forsake her nursing child, like a father who
    runs to welcome the prodigal home, God is faithful still.
    We trust in God the Holy Spirit, everywhere the giver and renewer of life. Spirit
    justifies us by grace through faith, sets us free to accept ourselves and to love God
    and neighbor, and binds us together with all believers in the one body of Christ, the
    church. The same Spirit inspired the prophets and apostles rules our faith and life in
    Christ through Scripture, engages us through the Word proclaimed, claims us in the
    waters of baptism, feeds us with the bread of life and the cup of salvation, and calls
    women and men to all ministries of the church.
    In a broken and fearful world the Spirit gives us courage to pray without ceasing, to
    witness among all peoples to Christ as Lord and Savior, to unmask idolatries in
    church and culture, to hear the voices of peoples long silenced, and to work with
    others for justice, freedom, and peace.
    In gratitude to God, empowered by the Spirit, we strive to serve Christ in our daily
    tasks and to live holy and joyful lives, even as we watch for God's new heaven and
    new earth, praying, "Come, Lord Jesus!"
    With believers in every time and place, we rejoice that nothing in life or in death can
    separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
    Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Amen.
