WORDS OF GRACE
from the Gospel of John
"I am the Resurrection and the life. He who believes in me,
though he die, yet shall he live, and whoever lives and believes
in me shall never die. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the end, the first and the last. I died, and behold I am alive for
evermore. Because I live, you shall live also."

*UNISON READING
Psalm 100
Congregation
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord
with gladness; come into his presence with singing. Know that the
Lord is God. It is he that made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him, bless his name. For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness
to ail generations.
PRAYER
Dr. Reginald Hunter
LORD'S PRAYER
Congregation
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into
temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
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 Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;
the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven,
and sitteth at 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 Spirit, the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen
*GLORIA PATRI
UMH71
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shaii be,
world without end. Amen. Amen.
