Claimed by God’s grace
for the sake of the world, we are a new creation through God’s
living Word by the power of the Holy Spirit;
Gathered by God’s grace
for the sake of the world, we will live among God’s faithful
people, hear God’s Word, and share Christ’s supper;
Sent by God’s grace for
the sake of the world, we will proclaim the good news of God in
Christ through word and deed, serve all people following the
example of our Lord Jesus, and strive for justice and peace in
all the world.
