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.

PRES: And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people
CONG: Your sons and daughters will prophesy
PRES: your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions
CONG: Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days
PRES: I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke
CONG: The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood
PRES: before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD
CONG: And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved
PRES: for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance
CONG: as the Lord has said, among the survivors whom the Lord calls.


Hymnal 68
1 We praise Thee, O God, our Redeemer, Creator
In grateful devotion our tribute we bring
We lay it before Thee, we kneel and adore Thee
We bless Thy holy name, glad praises we sing.
2 We worship Thee, God of our fathrs, we bless Thee;
Thro' life's storm and tempest our guide hast Thou been;
When perils over take us, escape Thou wilt make us
And with Thy help, O Lord, our battles we win.
3 With voices united our praises we offer
To Thee, great Jehovah, glad anthems we raise
Thy strong arm will guide us, our God is beside us
To Thee, our great Redeemer, forever bepraise.


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: Titus 3:1-8
1 Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people.
3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another.
4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,
5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.


Hymnal 191
1 I'm rejoicing night and day, as I walk the pilgrim way, For the hand of God in all my life I see,
And the reason of my bliss, yes, the secret all is this; that the Comforter abides with me
He abides, He abides, hallelujah, He abides with me
I'm rejoicing night and day, as I walk the narrow way, For the Comforter abides with me
2 Once my heart was full of sin, once I had no peace within, till I heard how Jesus died upon the tree
Then I fell down at His feet, and there came a peace so sweet, now the Comforter abides with me
He abides, He abides, hallelujah, He abides with me
I'm rejoicing night and day, as I walk the narrow way, For the Comforter abides with me
3 He is with me everywhere, and He knows my every care, I'm as happy as a bird and just as tree
For the Spirit has control, jesus satisfies my soul, since the Comforter abides with me
He abides, He abides, hallelujah, He abides with me
I'm rejoicing night and day, as I walk the narrow way, For the Comforter abides with me
4 there's no thirsting for the things of the world they've taken wings; Long ago I gave them up, and instantly
All my night was turned to day, all my burdens rolled away, now the Comforter abides with me
He abides, He abides, hallelujah, He abides with me
I'm rejoicing night and day, as I walk the narrow way, For the Comforter abides with me
