Prayer of Welcome
Friend, you enter this church, not as a stranger but as a guest of God, your Heavenly Father. Come then, with joy in your heart and thanks on your lips into God's presence, offering your love and service. Be greatful for the strong and loyal men and women who, in the name of Jesus Christ, built this place of worship and to all who love this home of faith as the inspiration of their labor, rejoicing in the power of the Holy Spirit - and may that blessing be upon you, both on your going out and your coming in.

 The Apostle’s Creed for Today
The Apostles' Creed evolved into its present form by the seventh century, although much of the text originated in the first century. It is the creed par excellence of Baptism, widely used when candidates declare their readiness for membership in the Body of Christ and recited during the Great Vigil of Easter as a reminder of our baptismal covenant. It is frequently used in Protestant churches during Sunday worship, and forms an important part of the orders for daily Morning and Evening Prayer in the Anglican Book of Common Prayer.
Beginning on Monday February 1 at 6 p.m., our Bible Study will focus on the meaning of the words contained in each stanza of the Apostles' Creed and how they relate to us today. You are cordially invited to come join us!
