He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit? 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.Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers? I will, with God’s help.

Gracious God, we thank you that by water and the Holy Spirit you have bestowed upon these your servants the forgiveness of sin, and have raised them to the new life of grace. Sustain them, O Lord, in your Holy Spirit. Give them an inquiring and discerning heart, the courage to will and to persevere, a spirit to know and to love you, and the gift of joy and wonder in all your works. Amen. Let us welcome the newly baptized. We receive you into the household of God. Confess the faith of Christ crucified, proclaim his resurrection, and share with us in his eternal priesthood.

11:15 am Anthem Carl Rütti (b. 1949) 6 pm arr. John Jacob Niles

I wonder as I wander out under the sky,how Jesus the Savior did come for to diefor poor ornery people like you and like I.I wonder as I wander, out under the sky.

When Mary birthed Jesus, ’twas in a cow’s stall,with wise men and farmers and shepherds and all.But high from God’s heaven a star’s light did fall,and promise of ages it then did recall.

If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing,a start in the sky, or a bird on the wing,or all of God’s angels in heaven for to sing,he surely could have it, ’cause he was the King.

When he is King we will give him the Kings’ gifts, Myrrh for its sweetness, and gold for a crown, Beautiful robes, said the young girl to Joseph, Fair with her first-born on Bethlehem Down.Bethlehem Down is full of the starlight — Winds for the spices, and stars for the gold, Mary for sleep, and for lullaby music Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold.When he is King they will clothe him in grave-sheets, Myrrh for embalming, and wood for a crown, He that lies now in the white arms of Mary, Sleeping so lightly on Bethlehem Down.Here he has peace and a short while for dreaming, Close-huddled oxen to keep him from cold, Mary for love, and for lullaby music Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold.
