Sermon

The Apostles’ Creed

Presider I believe in God, People the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead.

On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Healing

The Church’s Sacramental Ministry of Healing with the Laying on of Hands and Anointing with Prayer is offered today. If you would like to receive this ministry, make your way to the St. John’s Chapel after receiving Communion. Tell the Brother your name and briefly describe for whom or what you would have him pray.

A Note about Holy Communion

Please refrain from intinction (dipping the Bread into the Chalice). If you wish to abstain from receiving from the Chalice, remember that the Church catholic has always taught that the fullness of the Sacrament is received even when only one form is received.

If you require a Gluten-Free host, please indicate to the Brother administering Bread at Holy Communion if that is your preference.
