The Affirmation of Faith | Apostles' Creed Rev. Rogers 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 Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day He rose from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

The Offertory | Trinity Te Deum | Ēriks Ešenvalds Chancel Choir We praise thee, O God; we acknowledge thee to be the Lord. (Recorded Easter 2017) All the earth doth worship thee; the Father everlasting. To thee all angels cry aloud: the Heavens and all the powers therein. To thee Cherubim and Seraphim continually do cry, Holy, Holy, Holy; Lord God of Sabaoth; Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty of thy glory. The glorious company of the Apostles praise thee. The goodly fellowship of the Prophets praise thee. The noble army of Martyrs praise thee. The holy Church throughout all the world doth acknowledge thee; The Father of an infinite Majesty; thine honourable, true and only Son; Also the Holy Ghost: the Comforter. Thou art the King of Glory, O Christ. Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father. When thou took'st upon thee to deliver man: thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb. When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death: thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers. Thou sittest at the right hand of God in the Glory of the Father. We believe that thou shalt come to be our Judge. We therefore pray thee, help thy servants whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood. Make them to be numbered with thy Saints in glory everlasting. Thou sittest at the right hand of God in the Glory of the Father. Holy, Holy, Holy!

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