Unlike James and John, we do not claim the honor of sitting beside you in glory. We ask only that you make our hearts the seat of your presence, that we might serve your purpose as zealously as we have served our own. *HYMN:…………………………………”What a Friend We Have in Jesus”………………………………..#282 *AFFIRMATION OF FAITH:……………………………………………………………………………………...Minister Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is one true church, apostolic and universal, whose faith let us now reverently and sincerely declare. What do we believe? 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, the third day He rose 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 life everlasting. Amen. (Holy catholic church means the church universal not the Roman Catholic Church.) *GLORIA PATRI SCRIPTURE LESSON………………......................................................................................................Minister PASTORAL PRAYER………………………………………………………………………………………………..Minister VIDEO ANNOUNCEMENTS………………………………………………………………………………..A/V Ministry WELCOME…………………………………………………………………….....................................................Minister OFFERTORY PRAYER…………………………………………………………………………………………….Minister MINISTRY OF KINDNESS……………....WORSHIP THROUGH GIVING OF TITHES AND OFFERING *OFFERTORY…………………………………………………………………...”All Things Come of Thee O Lord” PASTORAL REFLECTIONS..........................................................Rev.
