PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING *Processional Hymn #545
The Church’s One Foundation
AURELIA
*Affirmation of Faith #880 The Nicene Creed We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. *Gloria Patri #71 GREATOREX Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen. Words of Welcome

Build Thee More Stately Mansions Chancel Choir
Emily Decker page 1389 Young
Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul! As the swift seasons roll, leave thy low-vaulted past. Let each new temple, nobler that the last, shut thee from heav’n with a dome more vast, till thou at length art free, leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea! 5
