We are excited that you are worshiping with Gethsemane today.

Opening Prayer: An Invitation to Christ

Come, my Light, and illumine my darkness.

 Come, my Life, and revive me from death.

Come, my Physician, and heal my wounds.

 Come, Flame of divine love, and burn up the thorns of my sins,

Kindling my heart with the flame of thy love.

 Come, my King, sit upon the throne of my heart and reign there.

For thou alone art my King and my Lord.  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)
