Prayer of Confession
Holy God, you see us as we are, and know our inmost thoughts. We
confess that we are unworthy of your gracious care. We forget that all
life comes from you and that to you all life returns. We have not
always sought or done your will. We have not lived as your grateful
children, nor loved as Christ loved us. Apart from you, we are
nothing. Only your grace can sustain us.
Lord, in your mercy, forgive us, heal us and make us whole. Set us
free from our sin, and restore to us the joy of your salvation, now and
forever.

Homily Rev. Andrew Kort“Affirmation of Faith The Apostle’s Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the
Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day
he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on
the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come
to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion
of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the
life everlasting. Amen.

Pastoral Prayer and the Lord’s Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom
come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our
daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and
lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the
kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

Postlude
The family invites you to join them for a time of remembrance and
refreshment in Lyman Hall after the service.The Phi Kappa Psi Creed
a
believe that Phi Kappa Psi is a brotherhood of honorable men, courteous
and cultured, who pledge throughout their lives to be generous, compassionate, and
loyal comrades;
I believe that I am honor bound to strive manfully for intellectual, moral, and
spiritual excellence; to help and forgive my Brothers; to discharge promptly all just
debts; to give aid and sympathy to all who are less fortunate;
Tati ‘that [am honor bound to strengthen my character and deepen my integri-
ty; to counsel and guide my Brothers who stray from their obligations; to respect
and emulate my Brothers who practice moderation in their manners and morals; to
be ever mindful that loyalty to my Fraternity should not weaken loyalty to my col-
lege, but rather increase devotion to it, to my country, and to my God;
Theteve that to all meet, wherever I go, I represent not only Phi Kappa Psi, but
indeed the spirit of all fraternities; thus I must ever conduct myself so as to bring
respect and honor not to myself alone, but also to my Fraternity;
al the fulfillment of these beliefs, of these ideals, in the noble perfection of Phi
Kappa Psi, I pledge my life and my sacred honor.
