Oh sing to the Lord a new song;

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;
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.
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
◦universal
The Communion Service
Institution 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Examination 1 Corinthians 11:27-29
Invitation
All who trust in Jesus Christ for salvation, are baptized members in good standing of congregations that proclaim the gospel, are repentant of their sin and are at peace with their brothers and sisters in Christ are invited to partake of the Lord’s Supper, feeding on the grace of God by faith. If you have not put your trust in Christ, please allow the elements to pass you by and take this opportunity to meditate on the meaning of the Gospel.
It is our belief that Jesus instituted the Lord's Supper using the elements of unleavened bread and wine. Therefore, following his example, the bread offered is unleavened and wine is offered in the outer ring of the tray. If, however, for reasons of conscience, you are not able to participate using wine, grape juice is provided in the center of the tray.
(A Word to Parents: Baptized children are invited to the table after they have made a profession of faith and have been received as communing members by the church to which their parents belong.)
