Prelude

Prayer
Three Things We Pray
Thanks be to thee, O Lord Jesus Christ, for all the benefits which thou
hast given us; for all the pains and insults which thou hast borne for us.
O most merciful Redeemer, friend, and brother, may we know thee more
clearly, love thee more dearly, and follow thee more nearly,
for thine own sake.
Amen
Richard of Chichester England 13th century

Scripture
Matthew 22: 34-40 NIV
The Greatest Commandment
34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Postlude
Brian Turner Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross Fanny J. Crosby Jesus, keep me near the Cross; There a precious fountain, Free to all, a healing stream, Flows from Calvary's mountain. In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever, till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river. Near the cross, a trembling soul, Love and mercy found me; There the bright and morning star sheds its beams around me. |
