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; He descended into hell;

The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, And is seated on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From where He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the Holy Christian Church, The Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body; And the Life everlasting. Amen

The Offering

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me with Thy free Spirit.

The Prayers of the Church

By partaking of the Lord’s Supper, we renew our commitment to love the Lord and to serve Him with our whole heart. Communion will be by intinction, and all who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior are invited to partake of Holy Communion today.
