I Love, I serve

READ
1 John 3:17. But whoever has the world’s goods, and beholds his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?
REFLECT
How much do you love God? What you do next makes the difference.
Saturday is Beautiful Day. I hope to see you at the ROC at 8:00am. Sunday is Summit Sunday we are praying that at least 100 people from our church will join together for two days of great teaching. We believe this is the start of an annual event that you want to make part of every summer. Its like DNow for adults. We think it can change your life and the future of our church. If you can please sign up before Sunday by gong to our website. We already have 69 people registered and your participation can encourage others to join the experience. Lets get the ball rolling.
PRAY
A prayer of St Anselm
Lord Jesus Christ; Let me seek you by desiring you,
and let me desire you by seeking you;
let me find you by loving you,
and love you in finding you.
I confess, Lord, with thanksgiving,
that you have made me in your image,
so that I can remember you, think of you, and love you.
But that image is so worn and blotted out by faults,
and darkened by the smoke of sin,
that it cannot do that for which it was made,
unless you renew and refashion it.
Lord, I am not trying to make my way to your height,
for my understanding is in no way equal to that,
but I do desire to understand a little of your truth
which my heart already believes and loves.
I do not seek to understand so that I can believe,
but I believe so that I may understand;
and what is more,
I believe that unless I do believe, I shall not understand.
