Light a Candle
Open the Word
Take a Deep Breath
Invocation
Loving God, thank you for your promise that where two or three are gathered you are there in the midst.
Open our ears so that we may hear your voice.
Open our minds so that we may receive Your eternal wisdom.
Open our spirits so that we may know Your leading and guidance.
And open our hearts so that we may receive Your wonderful love. Amen.
Confession
O God, you made us in your own image.
Look with compassion on the whole human family.
Take away the arrogance and hatred which infect our hearts.
Break down the walls that separate us.
Unite us in bonds of love.
And work through our struggle and confusion to accomplish your purposes on earth; that we love one another.
Amen.
Scripture

John 12:25
"He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life."

In the sweat of your face shall you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust, you shall return.
Swedenborg Insight
The Lord desires that we have a humble attitude.
When we have that attitude, the Lord can flow into our lives with heavenly good. This also applies to worship and gratitude.”
