WELCOME
*CALL TO WORSHIP (Based on 1 CORINTHIANS 13 Adapted from The Message)
Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Love is never “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Love takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Love always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.
Love never dies.
We are waiting to unite fully with the one great love, until then
We have faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is love.
Pursue love.
