P Let us pray. Merciful God, we thank you for these sisters
and brothers, whom you have made your own by water and
the Word in baptism. You have called them to yourself,
enlightened them with the gifts of your Spirit, and nourished
them in the community of faith. Uphold your servants in the
gifts and promises of baptism, and unite the hearts of all
whom you have brought to new birth. We ask this in the
name of Christ.
C Amen.

their faith……………………………………………… Please stand.

C I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
P Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God?
C I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin
Mary suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died,
and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third
day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated
at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge
the living and the dead.
P Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit?
P I ask you, confirmands to profess your faith in Christ
Jesus, reject sin, and confess the faith of the church.
C I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Do you renounce the devil and all the forces that defy God?
Amen.
A I renounce them.
AFFIRMATION OF BAPTISM
P Do you renounce the powers of this world that rebel
against God?
P You have made public profession of your faith. Do you
intend to continue in the covenant God made with you in
holy baptism: to live among God's faithful people, to hear the
word of God and share in the Lord's supper, to proclaim the
good news of God in Christ through word and deed, to serve
all people, following the example of Jesus, and to strive for
justice and peace in all the earth?
A I renounce them.
P Do you renounce the ways of sin that draw you from God?
A I renounce them.
A I do, and I ask God to help and guide me.
P People of God, do you promise to support these sisters and
brothers and pray for them in their life in Christ?
C We do, and we ask God to help and guide us.
P Let us pray.
