From our church service today:

...I bow my knee to Christ, who has revealed the ways of God in our midst, and like our forbearers, I pledge my allegiance once more to the church that keeps alive the ministry of word and sacrament for the salvation of all people and the redemption of the poor and needy.
May God help me do my best each day that I live, to love those around me, to walk responsibly in God's way, and to pray for the consummation of God's will among the nations of the world.
