Dear Heavenly Father, I come today confessing that I am a sinner. Please forgive me of my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Come into my heart and take control of my life. I receive your Son Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and as Lord of my life. Thank You for dying on the cross for me and for forgiving me of my sins. I pray this prayer in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
Assurance of Salvation John 3:16
Assurance of Eternal Life 1 John 5:10-13
If you have decided to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior today, we invite you to make a public confession at the time of invitation so that we as a congregation may support you in prayer and receive you with the love of Jesus Christ. We also invite you to join the fellowship of believers at New Hope A.M. E. Church of Waldorf if you are seeking a church home.
