Affirmation of Faith: in God’s promised salvation, from Zechariah 9:9-17  [Congregation will read the text in bold.]

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!

Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!

Behold, your king is coming to you;

Righteous and having salvation is he; humble and mounted on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

He shall speak peace to the nations; his rule shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.

Because of the blood of his covenant with you, He will set your prisoners free.

On that day the Lord their God will save them, as the flock of his people; for like the jewels of a crown they shall shine on his land.

For how great is his goodness, and how great his beauty!
