1. APOSTLES CREED

2. The word creed comes from the Latin word credo, which means I believe. The Apostles' Creed is a statement written in the early Christian church which declares what Christians believe about God. God

3. It was called "Apostles" not because the apostles themselves wrote it, but because the Creed was believed to be an accurate summary of what the apostles taught.

4. I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth; I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He 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, and is seated at the right hand of Father. 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.

5. I believe in God, the Father Almighty,creator of heaven and earth. Everything I see - the earth, the sky, the sea -are gifts of God to me.

7. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and was born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, long, long ago; he was born of the Holy Spirit,and Mary was his mother, long, long ago.

8. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. Pontius Pilate, a Roman judge, sent Jesus to be killed. All seemed lost when he was buried in a tomb, but it wasn't.

9. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. I believe God raised Jesus from the dead. On Easter Sunday, his friends saw him alive, and all his friends rejoiced.

10. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father. Went to heaven and sits beside God
