WHY DO WE DO THE THINGS WE DO:


Our Beliefs & Practices


CREED

The creeds are statements of our basic belief about God. These foundational

doctrinal beliefs are used in worship services. At LIG we use the Apostle’s Creed

and the Nicene Creed. The Apostle’s Creed is used in our worship to remind us

of Baptismal Covenant. The Nicene Creed is the creed of the universal Church

and is used at the sacrament of Holy Communion.

EUCHARIST

The Holy Eucharist is the sacrament commanded by Christ for remembrance of

His life, death and resurrection, until His return. It is also called; the Lord’s

Supper, Holy Communion, the Divine Liturgy, the Mass and the Great Offering.

COLLECT

Collect prayers are often used in public worship services, during the opening or concluding prayers, or as part of specific liturgical ceremonies. They are meant to be communal prayers, gathered and offered on behalf of the entire congregation. The concise structure of the collect prayer allows for a focused and unified expression of the common prayers and needs of the people gathered for worship.
