Prayer Before Worship  Almighty God, I confidently believe that Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, has ascended into heaven.  I pray that I also may ascend and continually keep my heart and mind fixed on Him, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.  Amen.

IN TODAY’S WORSHIP   Ultimately, we worship a God who gave up His most prized possession for us! He gave His very own Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us. Through His death and resurrection, He paid the entire price for all the sin we’ve ever committed and ever will commit.  He didn’t pay 99% of it and ask us to pay 1%.  He paid it all.   In response to love so great, we give not because we have to.  We give because we want to be like Jesus who has, and continues to love us.
