The Apostles’ Creed

About the Creed
The Apostles’ Creed as we now have it dates from the eighth century. But in truth its roots are in the “Old Roman Creed,” which was used in some parts of the ancient church as early as the third century. Before the Old Roman Creed, in turn, were variations rooted in the New Testament itself. While this creed does not come from the apostles (Jesus’ followers sent to share the good news), its roots are apostolic (in keeping with the teaching of the New Testament apostles). The creed describes the faith into which we are baptized and therefore is used in the rites of Baptism and Affirmation of Baptism.

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, 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, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come 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.

Worship and building updates

May 19, 2022

“Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others.”   Philippians 2:4

In response to the CDC revising their Covid-19 reporting, the Church Council of St. John has updated our metrics to align with theirs. As long as the Covid-19 Community Levels remain at or below “Medium” as reported on the CDC website, https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view masking is optional and Holy Communion will be celebrated with participants coming up to the altar to receive the elements. Prepackaged wafer/juice will continue to be available as you enter the sanctuary to be consumed in your pew for those who are more comfortable doing so.

The 8:00 a.m. (9:00am summer) service will be livestreamed and available on our YouTube channel. 

The Council continues to review information from health officials and will modify our guidelines and worship services as is appropriate.
