SCRIPTURE: Matthew 4:18-25
RESPONSIVE READING—A LITANY OF 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 BELHAR
We believe that God supports the downtrodden, protects the stranger, helps orphans and widows and blocks the path of the ungodly; that for God pure and undefiled religion is to visit the orphans and the widows in their suffering; that God wishes to teach the church to do what is good and to seek the right; that the church must therefore stand by people in any form of suffering and need, which implies, among other things, that the church must witness against and strive against any form of injustice, so that justice may roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
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
