We confess that there is one holy and apostolic Christian Church on earth and that the Church is found where God’s sheep hear the voice of their Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. We confess that God comes to us each week in the Divine Service where He serves us, His Church, the forgiveness of sins through His external word and sacraments. Only after He has given us new life are we then able to respond in joyful worship and adoration with prayer and songs of thanksgiving.
