Prayers of the People and The Lord’s Prayer
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 debts, as we forgive our debtors;
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom and the power
and the glory, forever. Amen

1 John 2:1-6 Common English Bible Translation
My little children, I’m writing these things to you so that you don’t sin. But if you do sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one. He is God’s way of dealing with our sins, not only ours but the sins of the whole world. This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments. The one who claims, “I know him,” while not keeping his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in this person. But the love of God is truly perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know we are in him. The one who claims to remain in him ought to live in the same way as he lived. (Question: What are teachings of Jesus you want imprinted on your life?)
Hymn 300 We Are One in the Spirit (In Person Only)
(verse 1)
1 John 2:7-8
Dear friends, I’m not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the message you heard. On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light already shines. (Question: What have you learned over the years about love?)
1 John 2:9-11
The one who claims to be in the light while hating a brother or sister is in the darkness even now. The person loving a brother and sister stays in the light, and there is nothing in the light that causes a person to stumble. But the person who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and lives in the darkness, and doesn’t know where to go because the darkness blinds the eyes. (Question: What is the hardest part about loving others?)
Hymn 300 We Are One in the Spirit (In Person Only)
(verse 2)
1 John 2:12-14
Little children, I’m writing to you because your sins have been forgiven through Jesus’ name. Parents, I’m writing to you because you have known the one who has existed from the beginning. Young people, I’m writing to you because you have conquered the evil one. Little children, I write to you because you know the Father. Parents, I write to you because you have known the one who has existed from the beginning. Young people, I write to you because you are strong, the word of God remains in you, and you have conquered the evil one. (Question: What have your learned from others about how to love more fully?)
Hymn 300 We Are One in the Spirit (In Person Only)
(verse 3)
1 John 2:15-17
Don’t love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in them. Everything that is in the world-the craving for whatever the body feels, the craving for whatever the eyes see and the arrogant pride in one’s possessions-is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world and its cravings are passing away, but the person who does the will of God remains forever. (Question: What are some unhealthy things you hold onto or spend too much of your time invested in doing?)
