Excerpts from A Brief Statement of Faith
In life and in death we belong to God. Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, we trust in the one triune God, the Holy One of Israel, whom alone we worship and serve. With believers in every time and place, we rejoice that nothing in life or in death can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
† THE PEACE
One: The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Many: And also with you.

THE OFFERING OF TITHES AND GIFTS TO GOD (Text 267-367-4910 to give)
ANTHEM King of Glory, King of Peace
Eric H. Thiman King of glory, King of peace, I will love Thee; and, that love may never cease, I will move Thee. Thou hast granted my request, Thou hast heard me; Thou didst note my working breast, Thou hast spared me. Wherefore with my utmost art, I will sing Thee, and the cream of all my heart I will bring Thee. Though my sins against me cried, Thou didst clear me, and alone, when they replied, Thou didst hear me. Seven whole days, not one in seven, I will praise Thee; in my heart, though not in heaven, I can raise Thee. Small it is, in this poor sort to enroll Thee; e’en eternity’s too short to extol Thee. Amen.
† PRESENTATION OF THE GIFTS

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise Christ, all people here below; Praise Holy Spirit evermore; praise Triune God, whom we adore. Amen.
