*Cюљљ ѡќ WќџѠѕіѝ
Life.
That is what you offer us.
In a world filled with death,
You offer life.
In a world overcome by sickness and disease,
You offer life.
In a world consumed with taking life,
You offer life.
In a world that is tired and weary,
You offer life.
Do we even understand what this really means for us?
Are we willing to receive the life you offer?
Transform our hearts, O God.
Turn our minds toward your wonderful life.

Rise Up, O Men of God
PџюѦђџ
Holy God,
Our gathering here may often seem normal or ordinary.
We do this week after week. Yet, being in your presence
should feel anything but ordinary. Orient our hearts to
expect beautiful things from our meeting with you today.
Allow us to lay aside distractions so that you alone may be
our focus. Thank you for how you will change us by being
in your presence together. Amen.
*PџюѦђџ ќѓ Dђёіѐюѡіќћ
We give our gifts in love and thanksgiving
for all that we have been given.
Help us give with hearts and minds open to the possibilities
of what we can do to heal the brokenness of our world.
Let our love travel where we do not, making pathways of
peace where there are none, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

LiĴle ones to him belong; they are weak, but he is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.
