Apostle's 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 Ghost, 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 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 Ghost, The Holy Catholic Church,
The Communion of Saints, The forgiveness of sin,
The resurrection of the body, And the life everlasting. Amen.

Response Reading: 71. Isaiah 55
PRES: Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money
CONG: come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost
PRES: Why spend money on what is not bread
CONG: and your labor on what does not satisfy?
PRES: Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good
CONG: and your soul will delight in the richest of fare
PRES: Give ear and come to me
CONG: hear me, that your soul may live
PRES: I will make an everlasting covenant with you
CONG: my faithful love promised to David
PRES: Seek the LORD while he may be found
CONG: call on him while he is near
PRES: Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD
CONG: and he will have mercy on him
CONG: and to our God, for he will freely pardon

Hymnal 198
v1 Break Thou the bread of life, dear Lord, to me;
As Thou didst break the loaves beside the sea;
Beyond the sacred page I seek Thee, Lord;
My spirit pants for Thee, O living Word!
v2 Thou art the bread of life, O Lord, to me;
Thy holy Word the truth that saveth me;
Give me to eat and live with Thee above;
Teach me to love Thy truth, for Thou art love.
v3 Bless Thou the trtuh, dear Lord, to me, to me;
As Thou didst bless the bread by Galilee;
Then shall all bondage cease, all feetters fall;
And I shall find my peace, my all in all.
v4 O send Thy Spirit, Lord, now unto me;
That He may touch my eyes and make me see;
Show me the truth concealed within Thy word;
and in Thy book revealed I see the Lord.


Passage: Philippians 2:1-11
1 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,
2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.
3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,
7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,
10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Hymnal 540
v1 I am Thine, O Lord, I  have heard Thy voice, and it told Thy love to me
But I long to rise in teh arms of faith, and be closer drawn to Thee
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to be the cross where Thou hast died
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to Thy precious, bleeding side.
v2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord, by the power of grace divine
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope, and my will be lost in Thine
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to Thy precious, bleeding side.
v3 O the pure delight of a single hour that before Thy throne I spend
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God, I commune as friend with friend
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to Thy precious, bleeding side.
v4 There are depths of love that I cannot know till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach till I res tin peace with Thee
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to Thy precious, bleeding side.
