Our Father Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name,

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
For Thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

*Benediction
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
The Apostles’ Creed
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.
*means “universal”
As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be.

*Doxology
May the peace of God our heavenly Father,
and the grace of Christ the risen Son,
and the fellowship of God the Spirit
keep our hearts and minds within His love.
And to Him be praise for His glorious reign,
from the depths of earth to the heights of heaven.
We declare the name of the Lamb once slain;
Christ eternal, the King of kings!
Praise God from whom all blessings flow;
praise him, all creatures here below;
praise him above, ye heavenly host;
praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
