After Jesus came back from 40 days alone in the desert, he very deliberately chose twelve people, and he gave them a very important project.
Throughout Lent Children’s Formation will learn about Jesus’ first friends, their project, and what that means for us in the world today.

The Apostles’ Creed Project – Jesus and the Twelve
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.
— 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 the 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.
