*Call to Worship Leader: Brothers and Sisters, God has given us His mercy, His grace and His son Jesus Christ. How then shall we respond? People: We offer ourselves to God as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to Him. Leader: Our worship is our response to God’s grace. We worship by giving ourselves – our treasure, our time and our talents. People: With grateful hearts, we give because God first gave to us. Leader: Then let us worship God with all that we are and all that we have. People: Let us give today in worship! *Hymn

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 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 sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
