Then God said, \u201cLet there be light\u201d; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">And God said, \u201cLet there be a dome in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.\u201d So God made the dome and separated the waters that were under the dome from the waters that were above the dome. And it was so. God called the dome Sky. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">And God said, \u201cLet the waters under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.\u201d And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, \u201cLet the earth put forth vegetation: plants yielding seed, and fruit trees of every kind on earth that bear fruit with the seed in it.\u201d And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed of every kind, and trees of every kind bearing fruit with the seed in it. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">And God said, \u201cLet there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years, and let them be lights in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth.\u201d And it was so. God made the two great lights\u2014the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night\u2014and the stars. God set them in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">And God said, \u201cLet the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the dome of the sky.\u201d So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, of every kind, with which the waters swarm, and every winged bird of every kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them, saying, \u201cBe fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.\u201d And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">And God said, \u201cLet the earth bring forth living creatures of every kind: cattle and creeping things and wild animals of the earth of every kind.\u201d And it was so. God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind, and the cattle of every kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">Then God said, \u201cLet us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"poetryText\">So God created humankind in his image,<br \/>\nin the image of God he created them;<br \/>\nmale and female he created them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">God blessed them, and God said to them, \u201cBe fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.\u201d God said, \u201cSee, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.\u201d And it was so. God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their multitude. And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><i>Reader:<\/i> The Word of the Lord.<br \/>\n<i>People: <\/i>Thanks be to God.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonCitation\"><em>Reader:<\/em> Let us say together<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"lessonCitation\">Psalm 8<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">1\u00a0<span class=\"initCap\">O<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>\u00a0our Governor, *<br \/>\nhow exalted is your Name in all the world!<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">2 Out of the mouths of infants and children *<br \/>\nyour majesty is praised above the heavens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">3 You have set up a stronghold against your adversaries, *<br \/>\nto quell the enemy and the avenger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">4 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, *<br \/>\nthe moon and the stars you have set in their courses,<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">5 What is man that you should be mindful of him? *<br \/>\nthe son of man that you should seek him out?<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">6 You have made him but little lower than the angels; *<br \/>\nyou adorn him with glory and honor;<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">7 You give him mastery over the works of your hands; *<br \/>\nyou put all things under his feet:<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">8 All sheep and oxen, *<br \/>\neven the wild beasts of the field,<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">9 The birds of the air, the fish of the sea, *<br \/>\nand whatsoever walks in the paths of the sea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">10 O\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>\u00a0our Governor, *<br \/>\nhow exalted is your Name in all the world!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>Second Scripture Reading<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"lessonCitation\">2 Corinthians 13:11-13<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p class=\"lessonText\"><span class=\"initCap\">F<\/span>inally, brothers and sisters, farewell.

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 man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death 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 worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
