I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ,
His only Son our Lod, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
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 Spirit, the holy universal church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
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 187
1 Come, gracious Spirit, Heavenly Dove, with light and comfort from above;
Be Thou our guardian, Thou our guide! over every thought and step preside.
2 The light of truth to us display, and make us know and choose Thy way;
Plant holy fear in every heart, that we from God may never depart
3 Lead us to holiness the road which we must take to dwell with God
Lead us to Christ, the living way, Nor let us from His presence stray.
4 Lead us to God, our final rest, to be with Him forever blest;
Lead us to heaven, that we may share, fullness of joy forever there. amen.

John 11:32-44
32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.
34 "Where have you laid him?" he asked. "Come and see, Lord," they replied.
35 Jesus wept.
36 Then the Jews said, "See how he loved him!"
37 But some of them said, "Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?"
38 Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.
39 "Take away the stone," he said. "But, Lord," said Martha, the sister of the dead man, "by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days."
40 Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me."
43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"
44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let him go."

hymnal 182
1 Joys are flowing like a river, Since the Comforter has come;
He abides with us forever, Makes the trusting heart His home.
Blessed quietness, holy quietness— What assurance in my soul!
On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me. How the billows cease to roll!

2 Bringing life and health and gladness All around, this heavenly Guest
Banished unbelief and sadness Changed our weariness to rest.
Blessed quietness, holy quietness— What assurance in my soul!
On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me. How the billows cease to roll!

3 Like the rain that falls from heaven, Like the sunlight from the sky,
So the Holy Ghost is given, Coming to us from on high.
Blessed quietness, holy quietness— What assurance in my soul!
On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me. How the billows cease to roll!

4 See a fruitful field is growing Blessed fruits of righteousness,
And the streams of life are flowing In the lonely wilderness.
Blessed quietness, holy quietness— What assurance in my soul!
On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me. How the billows cease to roll!

5 What a wonderful salvation Where we always see His face!
What a perfect habitation! What a quiet resting place!
Blessed quietness, holy quietness— What assurance in my soul!
On the stormy sea He speaks peace to me. How the billows cease to roll!
