All: God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us. Romans 5:5
Officiant: Great is the Lord and worthy of all praise.
All:Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honour, power and might, be to our God for ever and ever! Amen.
Great and wonderful are your deeds
O Lord God the almighty
just and true are your ways
O Sovereign of the nations.
Who shall not revere and praise your name O Lord?
for you alone are holy
All nations shall come and worship in your presence
for your just dealings have been revealed
To the One who is seated on the throne and to the Lamb:
be blessing and honour, glory and might
for ever and ever. Amen. (Revelation 15:3b-4; 5:13)

Officiant:If we claim to be sinless, we are self-deceived and strangers to the truth. If we confess our sins, God is just and may be trusted to forgive our sins and cleanse us from every kind of wrong.
All: Spirit of God, search our hearts.
All together:
God of mercy,
we have sinned against you and against others.
We have sinned in what we have done,
and in what we have failed to do.
WE are truly sorry.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
who died for our sins,
forgive us all that is past
and raise us to newness of life. Amen.
Officiant: Almighty God, who pardons all who truly repent. forgive our sins, strengthen us by the Holy Spirit, and keep us in life eternal; through Jesus Christ our redeemer. Amen.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dpKPTjarh7V67hqUjUqMkwGQznFCWo94cdtPJr4wSc8/edit?usp=sharingEvery time we come to scripture, we do well to ask God to enliven the words and speak, by the Holy Spirit, to our hearts. We'll be looking at a few different passages about faith. Before we begin:
What does faith mean to you?

As we continue, we say the following affirmation together:
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen

Diocesan collect: Gracious and loving God, you have called us in this Diocese to a goodly community of faith. You have called us also to bring others to know and love you. Give us, heavenly Father, a special measure of your grace, that we may be obedient to your Great Commission. Assist us, O Lord, and help us, that we may do your will in all things; and especially in our efforts to bring others to the knowledge and love of you. We ask all of these things through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
We close with hymn 43 and then these words:
