Opening Prayer
*Opening Hymn | I sought the Lord……………………………….#341
*Affirmation of Faith…………………………….………#881
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.
*Gloria Patra…………………….………………………….#70
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Ghost;
as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
world without end,
Amen. Amen.
