OPENING WORDS

PRELUDE Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above arr. Todd Davis

CALL TO WORSHIP (1 John 4: 16-21) Rev. Peggy SpenglerL: And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.A: God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. L: This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment.A: In this world we are like Jesus. L: There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. A: The one who fears is not made perfect in love.L: We love because he first loved us. A: Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. L: For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. A: And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

OPENING PRAYER** Rev. Peggy SpenglerGracious and good God, we come to you with open hearts, open minds and open hands. We come with open hearts to say that we love you. We come with open minds to say that we will obey you. We come with open hands to say that we will serve you. Thank you for your open doors to us. As we celebrate the gift of this new month, we are excited that our world will celebrate the gift of love in Valentine’s day. As we worship you today, help us to celebrate your love which is the greatest love of all. Help us in our openness to you to have the courage to close the door to all fear. Remind us this day that your perfect love casts out fear. In Jesus name. Amen.

WORDS OF ASSURANCE

CONFESSION/TIME OF REFLECTION

THE PRAYER OF HUMBLE ACCESSAll: We do not presume to come to this thy table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy table. But thou art the same Lord, whose property is always to have mercy. Grant us, therefore, gracious Lord, so to partake of this Sacrament of thy Son Jesus Christ, that we may walk in newness of life, may grow into his likeness, and may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.

HYMN* Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above

Sing praise to God who reigns aboveThe God of all creationThe God of power the God of loveThe God of our salvationWith healing balm my soul he fillsAnd every faithless murmur stillsTo God all praise and glory

The Lord is never far awayBut through all grief distressingAn ever-present help and stayOur peace and joy and blessingAs with a mother's tender handHe leads his own his chosen bandTo God all praise and glory

Thus all my gladsome way alongI sing aloud thy praisesThat all may hear the grateful songMy voice unwearied raisesBe joyful in the Lord my heartBoth soul and body bear your partTo God all praise and glory

Let all who name Christ's holy name Give God all praise and glory;Let all who own his power Proclaim aloud the wondrous story!Cast each false idol from its throne, For Christ is Lord, and Christ alone: To God all praise and glory.
