THE NICENE CREED We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in our Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the virgin, Mary, and was made human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. he has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy, catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

How Does The Prayer Wheel Work?

You can call anyone on the inner wheel and tell them of your need. You can be as specific or vague as you wish. The best time to call is from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. The inner wheel pray-ERs will make the calls to the outer spoke prayERs. Every piece of the wheel is important to keep the prayers going! All spokes will get the calls, but only the inner wheel will have to pass the request along. People on the inner wheel will call around and then be responsible for one of the spokes. When passing prayer requests from one member to another if the first person you call is not home, leave a message; and then call another contact on the wheel until you are able to speak directly to someone.

the information can be shared with the larger church body.
