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.

ANTHEM Humble Service
L. L. Fleming
Lord, whose love in humble service bore the weight of human need, who upon the cross forsaken, worked your mercy's perfect deed: We, your servants, bring the worship not of voice alone, but heart; consecrating to your purpose every gift which you impart. Still, your children wander homeless; still the hungry cry for bread; what love is this that Christ should die for my soul. As you, Lord, in deep compassion, healed the sick and freed the soul. By Spirit send power to our world to make it whole. As we worship, grant us vision, till your love's revealing light in its height and depth and greatness dawns upon our quickened sight, dawns, making known the needs and burdens your compassion bids us bear, stirring us to ardent service, your abundant life to share Lord, whose love in humble service healed the sick and freed the soul.
