An Affirmation of Faith (unison)
This is the good news which we received, in which we
stand and by which we are saved; that Christ died for our sins according to the
Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day; and that
he appeared to Mary, then to the twelve, and to many faithful witnesses. We
believe he is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. He is the first and the
last, the beginning and the end, he is our Lord and our God. Amen.

debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine
is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.”
