RESPONSIVE READING—A LITANY FOR RECONCILIATION
Leader—Across the barriers that divide race from race
Everyone—Reconcile us, O Christ, by your cross
Leader—Across the barriers that divide rich from poor
Everyone—Reconcile us, O Christ, by your cross
Leader—Across the barriers that divide people of different cultures
Everyone—Reconcile us, O Christ, by your cross
Leader—Across the barriers that divide Christians
Everyone—Reconcile us, O Christ, by your cross
Leader—Across the barriers that divide men and women, young and old
Everyone—Reconcile us, O Christ, by your cross
Leader—Confront us, O Christ, with the hidden prejudices and fears that deny and betray our prayers
Everyone—Enable us to see the causes of strife, remove from us all senses of superiority
Leader—Teach us to grow in unity with all God’s children
Everyone—To the honor of your name: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH—Confession of 1967
God’s sovereign love is a mystery beyond the reach of the human mind. Human thought ascribes to God superlatives of power, wisdom, and goodness. But God reveals divine love in Jesus Christ by showing power in the form of a servant, wisdom in the folly of the cross, and goodness in receiving sinful men and women. The power of God’s love in Christ to transform the world discloses that the Redeemer is the Lord and Creator who made all things to serve the purpose of God’s love.
THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name
Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen
