*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.
