So Loved!

"16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." John 3:16-17

 Dear Lord Jesus,

 Your love is awesome and beyond our understanding. Thank you for the perfect love that you demonstrate to us each and everyday. The power and magnificence of our world demonstrates your love for your creation. We are blessed to be your creation and receive your love.

 We confess that we are not perfect demonstrators of your love to others. We often fail to loves those who are different than us. We seek your forgiveness for those times we fail to love our enemy. May we find love for others in you.

 Thank you for the many blessings you bestow on St. John's families each day! We are truly marked as one redeemed by your love. Thank you for peace and prosperity.

 We ask you to continue to be with those who are ill or suffering in our community and beyond. Help us to be servants to those in need.

 We pray this all in Your precious name!

 Amen!

Love with Action

Goodness from God

"For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 1:5-8 Dear Jesus Christ, We magnify your name in all the earth! The far reaches of your creation proclaim your name. We see your goodness in your creation and praise and thank you for all that you have given us, your dearly loved children.
