Call to Worship: Apostles’ 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 Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day He rose from the dead;
He ascended into heaven, and sitteth at 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 Spirit, the holy catholic church,
The communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, And the life everlasting. Amen.

Congregational Prayer:
Our Good Father, we are joyous that Jesus taught us to pray to You as with that name. You protect us, care for us, and speak wisdom into our lives.
May Your glory shine bright in our lives as we draw close to You.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
