Peace Covenant Presbyterian Church
January 22, 2012
In
response to the love of God in our lives,
and desiring to share the Light of
Christ,
we covenant together to relate with one
another in Christ-like ways,
to embrace the
diversity God has gathered in this place,
to grow and nurture our understanding of our personal mission,
to serve Jesus Christ in the community
at large,
and to worship God in our daily lives.

Among Us”
Elder,
*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (unison) The Apostles’ Creed
I
believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus
Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the
Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he
descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended
into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the
Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I
believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church;
the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting. Amen.

My Church
My church is composed of people like me. We make it what it is. It will be friendly, if I am. Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them. It will do great works, if I work. It will make generous gifts to many causes,
if I am a generous giver. It will bring
other people into its worship and fellowship, if I bring them.
My church will be a church of loyalty and love, of fearlessness
and faith, and a church with a noble spirit, if I, who make it what it is, am
filled with those things.
Therefore, with the help of God, I shall dedicate myself to the
task of being all the things that I want my church to be.
