OUR RESPONSE TO ALL THAT GOD HAS BEEN DOING

COME TO THE TABLE!

Invitation to the Table
Prayers for Others & Ourselves
Affirmation of our Faith – The 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
He descended into hades | The third day he rose again from the dead
He ascended into Heaven | And sitteth on 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 Christian Church
The communion of saints | The forgiveness of sins
The resurrection of the body | And the life everlasting | Amen
