HYMN OF THE DAY "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty!"    ELW 413

APOSTLES' CREED

I believe in God, the Father almighty,

creator of heaven and earth. 

I believe in Jesus Christ, God's 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,

he is seated at the right hand of the Father,

and 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
