JAM PRESENTATION

The Apostle’s 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. He

descended into hell.

The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into

heaven, and sits at the right hand of God, the Father almighty, from

thence he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the

resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

God and of each other.

P: When we are led astray by our own wants, C: Father, bless us with your forgiveness. P: When we do not see what Jesus has done, C: Father, bless us with your forgiveness.

 

P: However great the sin committed, there is forgiveness for those who seek it. So hear this good news from God your Redeemer: You are accepted, you are forgiven, you are free. C: Amen.
