Benevolent Fund

As you leave Communion, you’ll find baskets avail-

able for your donations to our Benevolent Fund.

The fund helps area residents with food, utilities,

medicines, and other assistance. Many in Rochelle

benefit from the generosity of this congregation,

but please know you never have to give to receive

the Sacrament. Jesus has already paid that price.

THE APOSTLE’S CREED

Do you believe in God the Father?

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

Do you believe in Jesus Christ?

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the Virgin Mary, 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,

is seated at the right hand of the Father, and will come again to judge the living and the

dead.

Do you believe in the Holy Spirit?

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.

I believe…
