The proclamation of the Gospel preached by the Apostles

Nicene Creed
A weekly reaffirmation and confession of the faith of the historic church

The Prayers of the People
A time of prayer together in which we pray for the Church, our community, nation, and world, those in any need, and acknowledge those who have gone before us in faith and who are now united with us in the Body of Christ. 

The Confession of Sin
We acknowledge that we are sinners and that God is the one who reconciles us to himself through Christ.  

The Absolution
Hearing a human voice, ordained by the Church for this ministry, declaring the truth that our sins are forgiven and we are strengthened in Christ right here and now.  

The Peace
A moment of reconciliation in which we demonstrate that God's mercy is given to us that we might pass it on to others.  

The Offering
We offer up to God our whole selves, and put this in concrete form by the giving of offerings to the Lord.

The Great Thanksgiving
The prayers of the Eucharist service, which acknowledge that our Lord instituted this table for his people to commune with him together as his people.  All baptized believers in Christ are invited to celebrate his supper together.  

The Administration of Communion
We take this bread and wine, the gifts of God for the people of God, in remembrance that Christ died for us, and feed on him in our hearts by faith with thanksgiving.  

The Post-Communion Prayer
We are now sent out into the life of the Gospel, in the power of the Holy Spirit

The Blessing
We hear the voice of blessing and peace, enabled by the Spirit of God to enjoy the light of his grace.  

The DismissalWe go in peace to love and to serve the Lord.  Thanks be to God!
