PRELUDE
We are so excited that you are Worshipping with us at Gethsemane today.
OPENING PRAYER
Let us remember Jesus: Who, though he was rich,
yet for our sakes became poor and dwelt among us.
Who was content to be subject to his parents,
the child of a poor couple’s home. Who lived for thirty years the common life, earning his living with his own hands and declining no humble tasks. Whom the people heard gladly, for he understood their ways.
May this mind be in us which was in Christ Jesus.
Let us unite in prayer that Christ may dwell in our hearts.
O Christ, our only Savior,
so come to dwell in us that we may go forth
with the light of your hope in our eyes,
and with your faith and love in our hearts. Amen.

CHILDREN’S MESSAGE
Let us welcome the children: “Jesus Loves Me”.
“Jesus loves me! This I know. For the Bible tells me so. Little 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”.
PRAYER OF INTERCESSION (In unison after prayer)
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen
(Matthew 6:9-13)
