What Wondrous Love Is This arr. James Koerts
Welcome and Announcements
Call to Worship
Based on Psalm 22, 1 John 4
As the weak realize their strength;
as the poor eat and are satisfied,
God’s love abides in us.
As the stranger finds a friend;
as the family offers forgiveness,
God’s love abides in us.
As the ends of the earth know of Christ’s grace,
God’s love abides in us. +
