*A� rmation of Faith #881 The Apostles' Creed 8:30 Wendi Neal 10:55 Michael Andres 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,su� ered under Pontius Pilate, was cruci� ed, 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.
