The Apostles' Creed

Officiant and People together, all standing
I believe in God, the Father almighty,

creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord.
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.
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.

Save us from the time of trial,
and deliver us from evil.

and the glory are yours,
now and for ever. Amen.

We entreat you, O Lord.
That your holy angels may lead us in paths of peace and

goodwill,
That we may be pardoned and forgiven for our sins

and offenses,

the communion of [________ and] all your saints,
entrusting one another and all our life to Christ,

his resurrection, may praise you in that City of which he is the
light, and where he lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.
A Collect for Peace
Most holy God, the source of all good desires, all right
judgements, and all just works: Give to us, your servants, that
peace which the world cannot give, so that our minds may be
fixed on the doing of your will, and that we, being delivered
from the fear of all enemies, may live in peace and quietness;
through the mercies of Christ Jesus our Savior. Amen.
A Collect for Aid against Perils
Be our light in the darkness, O Lord, and in your great mercy

defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love
of your only Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or

weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who
sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless
the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the
joyous; and all for your love's sake. Amen.
Closing hymn
Before the close of the Office one or both of the following may be used

Almighty God, you have given us grace at this time with one
accord to make our common supplication to you; and you
have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two
or three are gathered together in his Name you will be in the
midst of them: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions
as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of
your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen.
Then may be said
Let us bless the Lord.

Thanks be to God.
The Officiant may then conclude with one of the following
