confession of sin

The sun of righteousness has dawned with healing in his wings.
Let us come to the light of Christ, confessing our sins in penitence and faith.

You were born for our salvation:
Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

You came as Saviour to bring wholeness and peace:
Christ, have mercy. Christ, have mercy.

You came to bring light into the darkness of our lives:
Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

May God who loved the world so much, that he sent his Son to be our Saviour
forgive us our sins and make us holy to serve him in the world,
through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Collect For Christmas Day

Almighty God,
you have given us your only-begotten Son to take our nature upon him
and as at this time to be born of a pure virgin:
grant that we, who have been born again and made your children by adoption and grace,
may daily be renewed by your Holy Spirit,
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord
who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Statement of Faith

Do you believe and trust in God the Father,
source of all being and life, the one for whom we exist?
We believe and trust in him.

Do you believe and trust in God the Son,
who took our human nature, died for us and rose again?
We believe and trust in him.

Do you believe and trust in God the Holy Spirit,
who gives life to the people of God and makes Christ known in the world?
We believe and trust in him.

This is the faith of the Church.
This is our faith.
We believe and trust in one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Jesus is the Word made flesh in our midst.
May his incarnation fill your hearts with joy and peace.
O Lord, give us peace.

Jesus is the promised Saviour, born of Mary.
May his birth among us renew your hope.
O Lord, give us hope.

Jesus is the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
May the gift of his presence bring forth rejoicing.
O Lord, give us joy.

Almighty God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
bless you now and forever. Amen.

Go in peace. Proclaim the Word made flesh.
Glory, thanks and praise to God. Amen.
