the Lord!” Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!

PEOPLE: FOR A DAY IN YOUR COURTS IS BETTER THAN A THOUSAND ELSEWHERE, I WOULD RATHERBE A DOORKEEPER IN THE HOUSE OF MY GOD THAN TO DWELL IN THE TENTS OF WICKEDNESS

Leader: For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.

PEOPLE: THEY ARE PLANTED IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, THEY FLOURISH IN THE COURTS OF OUR GOD.

Leader: Oh Lord, I love the habitation of your house, and the place where your glory dwells.

PEOPLE: BUT THE LORD IS IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE; LET ALL THE EARTH KEEP SILENCE BEFORE HIM.

Leader: Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

PEOPLE: O SING TO THE LORD A NEW SONG, FOR HE HAS DONE MARVELOUS THINGS! MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE TO THE LORD, ALL THE EARTH, SING PRAISES.

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. The third day He arose from the dead, He ascended into Heaven and sits 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 Church universal, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen.

RECOMMITMENT PLEDGEAs a member of the Body of Christ and of Wayman ChapelAfrican Methodist Episcopal Church, I recommit myself to the Lord and I reaffirm my faith in God Almighty, in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, and in the power of God’s Holy Spirit, who dwells in me.

I am blessed, I am anointed, I am gifted, I am empowered, and I am positioned to be what God wants me to be and to do what God wants me to do.

I want to mature as a discipline of Jesus Christ, so I recommit myself to worship, to prayer, and to studying God’s word.I want to be a faithful servant of God, so I recommit myself to serving the Lord through the Kingdom Building work of God’s church.

I want to be a good steward of the resources that God has entrusted to me, so I recommit myself to financially supporting the ministry of Jesus Christ through this church.I recommit my time to the Lord.I recommit my talent to the Lord.I recommit my treasure to the Lord.

6

I recommit my life to the Lord and I recommit my service to the Lord’s church.

I will worship the Lord with gladness, I will serve the Lord with humility, and I will generously give to the Lord’s storehouse. May God get the glory out of my life and may I be a blessing to God’s people. Amen.

HEALTH CORNERThe holiday season can be particularly stressful. Try these stress

reduction tips excerpted from the editors of Prevention Magazine.31 Days of Holiday Healing

Belt out "Santa Baby." Singing is linked to stress reduction. Try a hot toddy: Make friends with hot cocoa. Just holding a warm

beverage makes us more generous and friendly.

Bask in a Nutcracker ballet performance.  Get tickets to a local community performance (DCDC performance of Littlest Angel). New research shows that people who regularly attend cultural events feel healthier and more vital than those who don't participate.

Grin as you greet the cashier. Having a cheery attitude during the holiday season increases the chances that those around you will feel warm and fuzzy too, according to one study.

Make holiday cards gratitude cards. Instead of signing your cards with a generic "Hope all is well," take time to express to friends and family what they really mean to you. Studies find that showing gratitude increases your own happiness by as much as 25%.

Savor your Sunday. Pick any Sunday this month and make it an errand-free day. Research shows that people have better attitudes, more energy, and fewer aches and pains on the weekends—a benefit that comes from having more control over your schedule and being able to spend time with loved ones.
