Gloria Patri #70 Hymnal

Opening Prayer in unison: Loving God, we thank you for this opportunity to worship. There are times when we don't feel like worshiping, or feel as if we aren't worthy enough to come before you. Yet, you invite us to come because you love us and you want to have a relationship with each one of us. We pray that through this time of worship, we might feel your love and we might be empowered to love you back. All glory, honor and praise is yours, Lord, in the name of Jesus the Son, AMEN

Morning Prayer - Lord's Prayer in unison
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

The Giving of Tithes and Offerings            Doxology #95 in Hymnal

Prayer of Thanksgiving in unison: O God, we give you thanks for all your many blessings. Most of all, though, we give thanks for your great love, which we see most fully in our Lord Jesus. Receive these gifts, we pray, that through them you might be glorified. We offer them in Jesus' name, AMEN

Message Text       Matthew 22:34-40; Revelation 2:2-5a

Message       "Rule #3: Stay in Love With God"

Prayer of Confession in unison: God, we know that you love us. At times, though, we are slow to love you back. Forgive us for those times we take you for granted. By your grace, help us to grow in our love for you, that you might be seen in and through us, for your glory. We pray in Jesus' name, AMEN
