Doctrinal Text

God loves a cheerful giver.  2 Corinthians 9:7

            Let us pray together for the grace that we need, saying:

                        Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy

                                    on me, a sinner.

                        Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy

                                    on me, a sinner.

                        Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy

                                    on me, a sinner.

Dear God, as we your people gather in every time and place around this wondrous earth, may we be strengthened by our awareness of one another and united by our mutual prayers.

Hear us and help us all, we pray.

May the variety of traditions and customs of your whole church become a multitude of lights to reveal the good news needed by people everywhere. May the variety of our ministries and service convey your redemptive love and bind us ever closer to one another.

Grant us grace to unite in essentials, to accept diversity in non-essentials, and to love one another in all things.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding.  Psalm 111:10

Grant us grace to unite in essentials, to accept diversity in non-essentials, and to love one another in all things.
