3 Simple Rules for Living

by Colton Craig

1. Do no harm

2. Do good

3. Stay in Love with God

My Lord who is in heaven, your kingdom

come, your will be done on earth as it is in your kingdom. Give us your

holy bread, forgive us for our wrongs as you help us forgive those who

have done wrong.

Creed:

I believe in the Holy Spirit.

I believe Jesus came and sacrificed for us.

I believe in God

We are to influence other people to get baptized and confirmed.

Creed

by Tucker Taylor

We believe in God. I believe in the story of Christ in the Bible. He

died, was put in a tomb that was his cousins, descended to the dead

and will come to judge the living and the dead. Jesus ascended to

heaven on the third day of death. I believe in forgiveness.

A Prayer

by Tucker Taylor

Forgive us this day for what we have done wrong. I’m sorry for what I

have done, so be with me wherever I may go. Your Kingdom in

heaven shall also be ours/mine. Amen.

4

Creed

by Wyatt Mitchell

I believe in Jesus.

I believe in God.

I believe God is amazing.

I want to be confirmed because I want my faith to grow

and to be a better Christian.
