ANNOUNCEMENTS
CALL TO WORSHIP
We believe:
The poor in spirit are blessed,
and theirs is the kingdom of heaven;
those who mourn are blessed;
and they will be comforted;
the meek are blessed,
and they will inherit the earth;
those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are blessed,
and they will be filled;
the merciful are blessed
and they will receive mercy;
the pure in heart are blessed,
and they will see God;
the peacemakers are blessed,
and they will be called children of God;
those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake are blessed,
and theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
We believe we are blessed when people revile us and persecute us and falsely utter all kinds of evil against us because of Jesus Christ.
We shall rejoice and be glad, for our reward is great in heaven, for in the same way, they persecuted the prophets who were before us. Amen
OPENING HYMN: “All Who Love and Serve your City” #433 UMH
OPENING PRAYER O God of Shalom, We have built up these walls to protect ourselves from our enemies, but these walls also cut us off from receiving your love. Break down those walls. Help us to see that way to your heart is through the reconciliation of our own hearts with our enemies. Bless them and us, that we may come to grow in love for each other and for you; Through Jesus Christ. Amen
