Statement of Faith: We are not alone
(From the Iona Book of Common Worship)
L: We are not alone. We live in God’s world;
ALL: We believe in God, who has created and is
creating, who has come in Jesus to reconcile and to
make all things new. We trust God, who calls us to be
the church; to love and serve others, to seek justice and
to resist evil, to proclaim Jesus, crucified, dead and
risen; our judge and our hope. In life, in death, in life
beyond death, God is with us. We are not alone. Thanks
be to God.
WE GATHER TO WORSHIP GOD

L: The Lord is our light and our salvation! Whom shall we

what shall we be afraid?
L: Let us wait on the Lord. Let us be strong and of good
courage.
P: God has called us, and we have come. Let us worship
God together!
