Call to Worship
The wisdom from above
is pure and peaceful
It is gentle and friendly
The wisdom from above
is full of compassion
It produces a harvest of good deeds
Goodness is the harvest that is produced
from the seeds the peacemakers
plant in peace.
MP 445: Lord the light of your love
MP 167 : Give me oil
Galatians 5 : 22 & 23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy, peace, forbearance,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control.
Against such things there is no law.
1 Corinthians 12:12-20 New International Version – UK
Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts forms one body, so it is with Christ.
For we were all baptised by one Spirit so as to form one body
– whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free
– and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
And so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
Now if the foot should say,
‘Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,’ it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.
And if the ear should say, ‘Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,’ it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.
If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be?
If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.
If they were all one part, where would the body be?
As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
MP 152 : For the beauty of the earth

We now dedicate ourselves
Through worship, prayer and action to serve you faithfully
To love you with all our heart
All our soul and all our mind
And to love one another]as your Son Jesus Christ has shown his love for us

As we continue on our journey through life
Guide our thinking and bless all that we do in your name
Whose we are and whom we serve
And in whose name we pray. Amen.
