Refrain
Apostles’ Creed** I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,
We walk by faith and not by sight. We trust in God and not in might. For in our darkness He is light. We walk by faith and not by sight.
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; He descended into hell; 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.
Sometimes trials come our way. We don’t know what to do or say. But we know God will make a way If we will trust, trust and obey.
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.
We may not fully understand, But we are guided by His hand. And as we follow faith’s command God leads us to the promised land.
*
Those who are able, please stand. Ushers will seat latecomers at this time.
**
Postlude*
(Refrain)
We trust in God and in His Son. What God has promised will be done. And as each journey is begun His Holy Spirit makes us one. (Refrain)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. —Proverbs 3:5–6
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. —1 Corinthians 13:4–7

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. —Matthew 5:14–16
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. —Numbers 6:24–26
