Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.  Your will be done

Give us this day our daily bread.

And lead us not into temptation,

For Yours is the kingdom, the power,
           and the glory forever.  Amen

§ The Confession of Faith  
The Apostles’ Creed    
Trinity Hymnal p 845

Q: Christian, what do you believe? 
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
    Maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
    and born of the virgin Mary.
   He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
    was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended into hell.  
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven  
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.  
From there He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,  
the holy catholic church,
    the communion of saints,
    the forgiveness of sins,
    the resurrection of the body,
    and the life everlasting. Amen.
