GATHERING

PRELUDE                              "Great Is the Lord"                                       arr. Stan Pethel

WELCOME

          We're so glad you're here. If you're a visitor, relax. We won't ask you to stand up and introduce yourself or anything uncomfortable like that. (If you are new to St Andrew's and are interested in joining the church, simply talk to Pastor Beth.)

            If children are with you: That's wonderful! Jesus loves children and so do we. Feel free to sit near the front so they can see and hear everything. If you like, we keep quiet activities for them in bags near the sanctuary doors. We do provide a staffed nursery. To reach our nursery, turn left after leaving the sanctuary, turn left again when you reach the hallway. Turn right and the nursery is on your left.

            What we ask: Please fill out the Friendship Pad passed during the offering time in the service just so we know a little about who has come today.

            Fellowship: Join us for fellowship and goodies in the Fellowship Hall following the worship service. To get there, turn left after leaving the sanctuary it's at the end of the long hallway.

            Assistance: Hearing Assistance Devices are available for your use; please ask an usher if you would like one.

HYMN OF THE DAY "Lord, You Give the Great Commission"  WOV 756

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

PRAYERS OF INTERCESSION

Each petition ends with - Hear us, O God.

PEACE

P:     The peace of the Lord be with you.       C:         And also with you.
