|Unison: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s |

|only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius |

|Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he |

|ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and |

|the dead. |

|Prayer of Confession: |

|Minister: |Let us confess our sins as we pray: |

|(Unison) We admit, God our Light, that we do indeed try to tear Christ apart - a piece of him to support our |

|politics, enough of him to support our foolish arguments, the rest of him to bolster our fears of others. We |

|could leave immediately to follow him, but need to wait until we see where he might lead us. Forgive us Lord.|

|Have mercy on us! May your hope light the ways in which we serve others, as we seek to follow Jesus Christ, |

|who calls us to new life. |

| |

|Assurance of Pardon: |Minister |

Matthew 4:12-23

|12 When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he withdrew to Galilee. 13 Leaving Nazareth, he went and|

|lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali— 14 to fulfill what was said |

|through the prophet Isaiah: 15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, |

|Galilee of the Gentiles—16 the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land |

|of the shadow of death a light has dawned.”[a] 17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the |

|kingdom of heaven has come near.” 18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, |

|Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were |

|fishermen. 19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 20 At once they |

|left their nets and followed him. 21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and |

|his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called |

|them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. 23 Jesus went throughout |

|Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and|

|sickness among the people. |
