 The Sermon         “The Power of Communion in the Power of Prayer”
 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; 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.

    Creation is God's making everything out of nothing by His
    powerful word in six days - and all very good.
