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: 28. Psalm 63
PRES: O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you.
CONG: my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
PRES: I have seen you in the sanctuary 
CONG: and beheld your power and your glory.
PRES: Because your love is better than life,
CONG: my lips will glorify you.
PRES: I will praise you as long as I live,
CONG: and in your name I will lift up my hands.
PRES: My soul will be satisfied
CONG: as with the richest of foods;
PRES: with singing lips my mouth will praise you. On my bed I remember you;
CONG: I think of you through the watches of the night. Because you are my help,
ALL: I will sing in the shadow of your wings.


Hymnal 27
1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned upon the Saviour's brow; His head with radiant
glories crowned, His lips with grace overflow, His lips with grace overflow.
2 No mortal can with Him compared, among the sons of men; fairer is He than
all the fair that fill the heavenly train, that fill the heavenly train
3 He saw me plunged in deep distress, and flew to my relief; for me He bore the
shameful cross, and carried all my grief, and carried all my grief.
4 To Him I owe my life and breath, and all the joys I have; He makes me triumph
over death, and saves me from the grave, and saves me from the grave.
5 Since from His bounty I receive, such proofs of love divine, had I a thousand
hearts to grive, Lord, they should all be Thine, Lord, they should all be Thine. amen


Passage: Hebrews 10:19-31
19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus,
20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh,
21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.
24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27 but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.
28 Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses.
29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.”
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.


Hymnal 419
1 Under His wings, I am safely abiding; though the night deepens and tempests are wild,
Still I can trust Him I know He will keep me; He has redeemed me and I am His child
Under His wings, under His wings, who from His love can sever?
Under His wings my souls shall abide, safely abide forever.
2 Under His wings, what a refuge in sorrow! How the heart yearningly turns to His rest!
Often when earth has no balm for my healing; there I find comfort and there I am blest.
Under His wings, under His wings, who from His love can sever?
Under His wings my souls shall abide, safely abide forever.
3 Under His wings, O what precious enjoyment! There will I hide till life's trials are over;
Sheltered, protected, no evil can harm me; resting in Jesus I'm safe evermore.
Under His wings, under His wings, who from His love can sever?
Under His wings my souls shall abide, safely abide forever.
