Rev. Drumheller
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.
† THE PEACE
One: The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Many: And also with you.

ANTHEM God, You Made All Things for Singing John Ferguson God, you made all things for singing, even canyons carved from stone. Thunder sets the hard-rock ringing with the hymn the skies in-tone. Alleluia! Alleluia! Yours the praise and yours alone. As the clap and roll of thunder give the rocks their note to start, Spirit, free the songs of wonder waiting in the thankful heart. Alleluia! Alleluia! Help each voice to sing its part. Join with us in all our singing. Make our music, Lord, your own. Be the bass note deeply ringing. Be the highest overtone. Alleluia! Alleluia! Yours the praise and yours alone. Alleluia! Yours the praise and yours alone.
