*Call to Worship... Ben Glancy

Listen! Wisdom is calling! Before all began, God, Word, and Wisdom creating, calling, from the foundations of the deep. Listen! Wisdom is calling! From the mountain tops earth, fields and sea creating, calling from the   foundations of the deep. Listen! Wisdom is calling! To those who suffer God’s love is given endurance, blossoms from the foundations of the deep. Listen! Wisdom is calling! Daily, God delights You, me, every one given hope, grace, love as the foundation of our lives. Listen! Wisdom is calling! Poured into our hearts that we may become Christ’s hand and heart, love as the foundation of our lives. Listen! Wisdom is calling!

*Hymn... “Holy, Holy, Holy” (UMH #64)

The Apostles Creed... Ben Glancy

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