PRAISE Call to Worship from Canticle of Love (UMH 646) [PLEASE STAND]

Leader Let love be genuine and live in harmony; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good.

People Outdo one another in showing honour; be humble and never conceited. Leader Love is stronger than death and jealousy is cruel as the grave. People Floods cannot drown love and wealth cannot buy it. Leader Put love above all else; let Christ’s peace rule your hearts. People Always be forgiving, as Christ has forgiven you. Leader Love is not jealous or boastful, arrogant, rude, or stubborn, ALL irritable, resentful, or possessive. Love is patient and kind. Amen.
