ORDER FOR CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS
The worship leader begins with the invocation. The sign of the cross may be
made by all in remembrance of their Baptism.
P: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit. (Matthew 28:19)
C: Amen
P: Make us to know your ways, O Lord, and teach us your paths.
Lead us in your truth and teach us, for you are the God of our
salvation; for whom we wait. (Psalm 25:4-5)
C: Amen
P: If we say we have fellowship with God while we walk in
darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth; but if we
walk in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the
blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. (1 John 1:6-7)
P: Have mercy on us, O God, according to your steadfast love.
C:According to your abundant mercy, blot out our
transgressions. Wash us thoroughly from our iniquity and
cleanse us from our sin. Create in us a clean heart, O God, and
put a new and right spirit within us. Cast us not away from
your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from us. Restore
to us the joy of your salvation, and uphold us with a willing
spirit. Amen (Psalm 51:1-2, 10-12)
P: Let it be known to you, that through Jesus Christ, the
forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. (1 John 1:6-7)
He commanded us to preach and to testify that he is the one
appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead. To him all
the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him
receives forgiveness of sins through his name. (Acts 10:42-43)
C: Amen
Who are we as the North American Lutheran Church?
Christ-Centered
We confess the apostolic faith in Jesus Christ according to the
Holy Scriptures. We affirm the authority of the Scriptures as the
authoritative source and norm, according to which all doctrines
should and must be judged (Formula of Concord). We accept the
ecumenical creeds and the Lutheran Confessions as true witnesses
to the Word of God.
Mission-Driven
We believe that the mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel
and to make disciples for Christ. We believe that making disciples
in our congregations, in our communities and nations, and
around the world must be a priority of the Church in the
present age.
Traditionally-Grounded
We affirm the ecumenical creeds and the faithful witness of the
Church across time and space. We endorse the form and practices
of the universal Church that are consistent with Scripture,
particularly the office of the ministry and the tradition of worship
under Word and Sacrament. We seek dialogue and fellowship
with other Lutheran churches and with faithful Christians of other
confessions.
Congregationally-Focused
We strive to be a church that is organized to facilitate the
ministries of local congregations in a posture of servant-hood and
a spirit of partnership, through the provision of resources,
connections and information.
