Affirmation of Faith: from Psalm 46  [Congregation will read the text in bold.]

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy dwelling place of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

Come, behold the works of the Lord,

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”

The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
