FPC’s vision theme and verse for 2010:

開闊的屬靈視野，健康的事奉心志 

If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. (1 Cor. 12:26-27)

*Song(s) of Praise 

* Apostle’s 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. 

*Sharing the Peace of Christ 

       L: …The peace of the Lord be with you.

P: And also with you. 

*Gloria Patri/Glory to the Father

Glory be to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,

world without end. Amen.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,

world without end. Amen.   (repeat “Amen” 7x)
