ORDINATION OF ELDERS Ordination: Jerry Fairbridge and Holly MacLeod Re-Affirmation: Diane Closson, Gord Fielding, Sandra Henderson,

Brenda Reindl. RESPONSIVE READING There are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; There are varieties of services, but the same Lord; There are varieties of activities, but the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each one is given a gift by the Spirit, to use it for the common good. Together we are the body of Christ, and individually members of it.

THE APOSTLES’ CREED I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his 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 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. RESPONSIVE PSALM: OLD TESTAMENT: NEW TESTAMENT: GOSPEL READING: * HYMN:

Psalm 118 : 1 - 2 ; 19 - 29 Isaiah 50 : 4 – 9a (Page 681) Philippians 2 : 5 - 11 (Page 197 ) Mark 11 : 1 - 11 (Page 47)
