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
We believe that in Jesus of Nazareth, true humanity was realized once for all. Jesus, a Palestinian Jew, lived among his own people, shared human needs, temptations, joys and sorrows. He expressed the love of God in word and deed and became a brother to all kinds of sinful people. In giving himself for them, he took upon himself the judgment under which all people stand convicted. We believe that God raised him from the dead, vindicating him as Messiah and Lord. The victim of sin became victor. and won the victory over sin and death for all.
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
