We believe in God, who has created and is creating, who has come to reconcile and to make all things new. We trust God, who calls us to love and serve others, to seek justice and to resist evil, to proclaim Jesus, crucified, dead, and risen; our judge and our hope. In life, in death, in life beyond death, God is with us: we are not alone. Thanks be to God
