Arrangement 2020 Copyright Group Publishing Affirmation of Faith - Jennifer’s Creed I believe in the Trinity: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit I believe that Jesus was crucified on the cross to save us from our sins I believe that we strive to forgive each other and seek forgiveness from God I believe we are disciples spreading the word of God I believe in praying, reading the Bible, going to church, and living out my Christian faith I believe in God’s unconditional love and how he made me the person I am today I believe in love, hope and treasuring the life we are given to live John 3:16: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Offering “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; Our helper he amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate, on earth is not his equal. Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing, Were not the right man on our side, the man of God’s own choosing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he Lord Sabaoth, his name, from age to age the same, and he must win the battle. And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed his truth to triumph through us. The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure; one little word shall fell him. That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours, the him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill; God’s truth abideth still; his kingdom is forever. Communion “In You Alone” God of heaven and earth, you are amazing.
