We make confession of our Faith

in the Apostles’ Creed (all standing)

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

***

The Apostles’ Creed is an ancient creed of the Church.   It is the preferred statement of belief of the Reformed churches and was included in weekly worship by both Calvin and Knox. The word ‘creed’ comes from the Latin word credo meaning ‘I believe.’ The Creed can be understood literally, though it is best read as poetry. It is Scriptural and, therefore, draws upon the faith narratives of the Bible. It employs powerful religious imagery intended for meditation.

eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.  For my

flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.  He
