in one God, revealed to the world as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 

in the power of sin that separates us from God, from the world, and from one another.

in salvation that comes by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ.

in the proclamation of God’s Word to us, revealing both judgment and mercy.

in the sacrament of Holy Baptism, by which God makes us members of God’s family, the Church

in the sacrament of Holy Communion, through which our sins are forgiven, our faith is nurtured and we are empowered to serve God in the world.
