*Affirmation of Faith                                   

We are an Advent people, a people of peace. For us, Advent is a time of waiting, and so we wait. We wait for the coming of the One who is the fulfillment of God’s promise, the fulfillment of hope, the declaration that all have been redeemed.

We know that the world in which we live will continue to be filled with pain and sorrow. We know that hatred and violence will continue to exist. We know that death and separation will continue to be a part of our lives.

But because we are an Advent people, we know that love will win in the end.

The Holy One is always coming, to make this world home, to make this world whole, all that was, is, and ever will be.

And in our waiting and our hoping, we work and worship, pray and play, in all things hoping that peace, love, and joy will reign in our lives and in our world, now and forever.

(The text is by Rev. Rebecca F. Harrison)

*Gloria Patri                                                                                 gloria

Glory be to God the Father, Glory be to God the Son,

Glory be to God the Spirit, Ever three and ever one.
