For Reflection and Preparation  

  He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him.  He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.  But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.                             John 1:10-13                      

 

  Nothing exceeds thy power,

  Nothing is too great for thee to do,

  Nothing too good for thee to give.

​Infinite is thy might, boundless thy love,

​limitless thy grace, glorious thy saving name.

  Let angels sing for sinners repenting, prodigals restored,

​backsliders reclaimed, Satan’s captives released,

​blind eyes opened, broken hearts bound up,

​the despondent cheered, the self-righteous stripped,

​the formalist driven from a refuge of lies,

​the ignorant enlightened,

​and saints built up in their holy faith.

  I ask great things of a great God.                                       Valley of Vision

  For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.

Confessing Our Faith     ​               The Nicene Creed      

 

WE BELIEVE in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

 

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate.  He suffered and was buried, and the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.  And He shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

 

And WE BELIEVE in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father  and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.

 

And WE BELIEVE in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. AMEN.
