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: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. 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 and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He 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.

Prayers of the People The Assembly stand for prayer, as able.

Leader O God, whose angels sang not to kings but to Mary and the shepherds, give us grace to hear the good news of the Savior’s birth and the great joy of a dawning age.

CHRISTMAS OFFERING Christmas is expressed in many ways, especially through gift giving. God gave Divine Love to be born into the world in a human life, and for that great mystery we are forever thankful. Your Christmas offerings for Christ’s work at Trinity Church and in the wider world are important. Please use the Christmas Offering envelopes found in the bulletin and pews to make a special gift in this holy season.

PLEASE REMEMBER THOSE IN NEED: Candles—new and used—are always in need Please don't forget our neighbors on the street. New, dry socks are essential for this time of year. Disposable diapers are an essential need. We have many weekday requests for snacks and canned self-opening food items as well. All donations are greatly appreciated.

Annual Giving cards for 2016 available… We rejoice in the financial commitments made for 2016 at Trinity Church, and we trust that many others will add to this abundance and assist Trinity in its program in the coming year. If you have not made a financial pledge to Trinity Church for the coming year, please do so by filling out a card and mailing it to the Parish Office or placing it in today’s offering. Cards are available in the Narthex today.

Holiday Hours @ Trinity The Parish Office will be closed December 24 to January 4, 2016. The Church will be closed weekdays December 28 through January 1. AA/Alanon meetings will be held every weekday at noon except on December 25 and January 1.
