Call to Worship by Pastor Toné Tosi

This is the day the Lord has made.  Let us rejoice and be glad in it.  The crucified one has risen in glory.  The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.  This is the Lord’s doing.  It is marvelous in our eyes.  This is the day the Lord has made.  Let us rejoice and be glad in it.  Amen.

Opening Prayer by Rev. Yong Sam Park (in Korean)

The Apostles’ Creed read by Linda Shepard

 

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 rose from the dead;

he ascended into heaven,

and sitteth 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 holy catholic church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. Amen.
