PRAYER & 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 sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us; and lead us not
into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the
Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.

Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates
of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”

THE WORD THAT BRINGS LIFE…
MATTHEW 5:9, 38-41, AND 43-45. Ralph Roberts
MESSAGE “Blessed Are the Peace Makers…”
OUR RESPONSE TO WHAT GOD IS SAYING TO US TODAY
SING TO THE LORD “It Is Well”
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace…
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be
consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.
– The Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
OUR TIME TOGETHER IS OVER. GO NOW
AND BE Jesus’ Beatitude People!
