*Public Confession of Sin
Our Father, you are the great Creator who has given the tongue, planted the ear, and formed the eye. You are deserving of praise and worthy of honor. You are the one who endowed every human with talents and abilities to glorify your name. With shame we confess our failure to fulfill our purpose. Often, we have sinned by using our faculties as instruments of sin and inlets of corruption. With our tongues we have issued curses, declared obscenities, and uttered lies. With our ears we have regarded evil, savored gossip, and tolerated slurs. With our eyes we have approved wickedness, admired iniquity, and taken pleasure in vice. You formed us for yourself and equipped us for your glory, but we have gone astray and have not loved you with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind. Our only hope is in your mercy. Please forgive us for Jesus’ sake. Amen.

Confession of Faith: The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell;**
The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
** i.e. his being buried, and continuing in the state of the dead, and under the power of death till the third day.
