+ Confession of Faith: The Nicene Creed
We
believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all
things visible and invisible.
And
in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father
before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten,
not made; being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; Who for us and
for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit
of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under
Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day he rose again
according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the
right hand of the Father; and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both
the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And
we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from
the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and
glorified; who spoke by the prophets; and we believe in one holy catholic and
apostolic church; we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and we
look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come, Amen.

World without end. Amen, Amen.

Pastor: He
who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his
own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who
has need.
People: Let no
unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for
edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to
those who hear.
Pastor: Do
not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of
redemption.
People: Let
all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you,
along with all malice.

kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in
Christ also has forgiven you.
