Welcome
Call to Worship
We work hard to win
The first will be last and the last will be first
We want to be better than those who hurt us
Pray for those who hurt you, love your enemy
We want to hold on to what is ours
When we give we receive
We want to destroy those who are dangerous
Love conquers hate. Life is stronger than death. Amen.
