Prelude
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross arr. Jason Tonioli
Welcome
Call to Worship
For this is message you have heard from the beginning
That we should love one another
Whoever does not love abides in death
All who hate a brother or sister are murders.
Little Children, let us love not in the word or in speech but in deed and truth.We know love by this that he laid down his life for us.
And be this we will know that we are from the truth.

Sermon
The Cross is Love | Rev. Drew Nix
Prayer of Confession and Assurance of Pardon
The prophets and psalmists of old spoke over and over again of God's love, singing, preaching, writing that "The steadfast love of the LORD, the covenant love of the LORD, the faithful kindness of the LORD endures forever." Thus we have faith that God never abandons us on this journey and calls us back to keep growing in faith. Because the steadfast love of the LORD endures forever, we can say this day in the name of Jesus Christ, you are loved, you are forgiven, you are made new, and you are called to go onto perfection in love.
In the name of Jesus Christ we are forgiven and made new. Thanks be to God.
