PRELUDE
We are excited that you are worshiping with Gethsemane today. OPENING PRAYER:2
Holy God, we worship you today celebrating the garden you have planted in each of our hearts. In our journeys, give us seeds to share with others so people can experience Your life. Where life is difficult, give us seeds of hope and strength. When lives are missing Your love, let us sow seeds of love. Let Your Kingdom come and let your will be done. We ask this in Jesus\u2019 name. Amen.
