ORDER OF SERVICE

Holy God, source of joy and love, help us to hear again the words of Jesus about carrying a cross. So may we trust his saving grace, copy his loving acts, believe his promises, and become more like him in every way. For he lives with you in the communion of the Holy Spirit; one God to whom be glory forever. Amen
