July 22ndA Confession and Creed for Bright Sunday
Typically held the Sunday after Easter, also known as Holy Humor Sunday
We believe in God,
who made us in His image.
We live, we love, we laugh,
because we are like Him.
We believe in Jesus Christ,
the Son of God, our Lord and Savior.
He had the last laugh on the devil
when He rose from the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Son.
Our counselor, our guide, our motivator –
He is our joy!
Forgive us, Lord, when we take ourselves too seriously,
when we don't claim the happiness that is rightfully ours
as your children,
when we forget that you will have the last laugh in this world.
Restore to us the joy of our salvation,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
