“When the field of love within the family is extended into a culture of love,
our children themselves set the standards derived from their core spiritual values. This is the power of spiritual agency.”

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)
SHARING LOVE & PEACE in PLACE
“For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.”
We are excited that you are worshiping with Gethsemane today.

Almighty God,
your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, is the light of the world.
Grant that your people, illumined by your Word and Sacraments, may shine with the radiance of Christ’s glory,
that he may be known, worshiped, and obeyed
to the ends of the earth, now and forever. Amen.
