*Call to Worship                            The Lord watches over you.                               -Psalm 121                                                                                                      

I lift up my eyes to the hills—from where will my help come?

                 My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.

                 He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade at your right hand.

                 The sun shall not strike you by day nor the moon by night.

The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.

                 The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time on and forevermore.

 Our Response to God 

*Profesionsion of Faith                                   The Apostles’ Creed

 I believe in God, the Father almighty,   creator of heaven and earth.  And in Jesus Christ, his 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 into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.   From there he will come 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.
