PRELUDE
We are excited that you are worshiping with Gethsemane today.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION : 2
“Lord, I want to be more holy in my heart. Here is the citadel of all my desiring,
where my hopes are born
and all the deep resolutions of my spirit take wings. In this center, my fears are nourished,
and all my hates are nurtured. Here my loves are cherished,
and all the deep hungers of my spirit are honored without quivering and without shock.
In my heart, above all else,
let love and integrity envelop me
until my love is perfected and the last vestige
of my desiring is no longer in conflict with thy Spirit. Lord, I want to be more holy in my heart. Amen.
WORDS OF PARDON
L: Hear the good news: Christ died for us while we were
yet sinners; that proves God’s love toward us. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven!
P: In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven! All: Glory to God. Amen.

CHILDREN’S MESSAGE
“O God Our Help in Ages Past”
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”.
JOYS AND CONCERNS
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
\u201cFor 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.\u201d
(Matt 25:35 NLV) “How Great Is Our God”
