THE NICENE CREED

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

12 Last Sunday after the Epiphany + February 23, 2020

A beautiful way to honor your loved ones is to remember them during Easter. You may purchase a lily to adorn Grace’s altar in memory/honor of your loved one. Place your donation for the lily in an Easter Lily envelope which will be provided by the church or drop a check in the donation plate with “Easter Lilies” in the memo line. Remember to write the names of the people that you are honoring so that the Easter Vigil and Easter bulletins can list their names. Please submit requests by Sunday, April 5th.

The flowers will adorn the church at the Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday morning as we celebrate the Resurrection of our Beloved Christ. Let your heart tell you the amount to donate. Donations can also be made at Grace’s website under “donate.” Just note in the memo box who you wish to honor.

Join Reverend Jeanne and parishioner Tod Moquist for Holy Week Boot Camp! For 5 Sundays during Lent from 9-9:45 am (3/15, 3/22, and 3/29) we will be exploring the Passion of Jesus and the services of Holy Week.

The first 3 sessions will be spent discussing Amy-Jill Levine's brief and brilliant book Entering the Passion of Jesus: A Beginner's Guide to Holy Week (copies are available for $16.99 with our friends at Broadway Books). On 3/22 we will be discussing Stations of the Cross and on 3/29 the Triduum liturgy (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil). Interested? Have questions? Please email Jeanne at jeannek@grace-memorial.org or chat with her or Tod.

Parishioners are invited to join us for a weekend of fun, festivities and reflection at Camp Magruder. This is an experience for all ages. Go to http://www.campmagruder.org/ to see what Camp Magruder has to offer. Take part in the spirited community gatherings.
