PREAMBLE

As members of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

We confess that Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of the living God,
and proclaim him Lord and Savior of the world.

In Christ's name and by his grace

we accept our mission of witness
and service to all people.

We rejoice in God,

maker of heaven and earth,
and in the covenant of love
which binds us to God and to one another.

Through baptism into Christ

we enter into newness of life
and are made one with the whole people of God.

In the communion of the Holy Spirit

we are joined together in discipleship
and are made one with the whole people of God.

At the table of the Lord

we celebrate with thanksgiving
the saving acts and presence of Christ.

Within the universal church

we receive the gift of ministry
and the light of scripture.

In the bonds of Christian faith

we yield ourselves to God
that we may serve the One
whose kingdom has no end.

Blessing, glory and honor

be to God forever.

Amen
