Affirmation of Faith
This Affirmation of Faith may be used:
Let us affirm the good news we have received,
in which we stand,
through which we are saved
and which we hand on to others.
Christ died for our sins
in accordance with the scriptures;
he was buried;
he was raised to life on the third day
in accordance with the scriptures;
afterwards he appeared to his followers,
and to all the apostles:
this we have received,
and this we believe. Amen.
(cf. I Corinthians 15.3-7).
Prayers of Intercession
Suitable prayers are said (see Section XI).
This introduction and response may be used:
In peace let us pray to the Lord, using the response:
Hear us risen Lord: our resurrection and our life.
Prayers of Thanksgiving
Hymns may be sung and testimony given.
Either the whole of, or these verses from, the Te Deum may be used.
You Christ are the King of glory:
the eternal Son of the Father.
When you took our flesh to set us free:
you humbly chose the Virgin’s womb.
You overcame the sting of death:
and opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
You are seated at God’s right hand in glory:
we believe that you will come and be our judge.
Come then, Lord, and help your people:
bought with the price of your own blood.
And bring us with your saints:
to glory everlasting.
One or more of these thanksgivings may be used.
You are worthy, O Lord our God:
to receive glory and honour and power .
For you created all things:
and by your will they have their being.
