Prepare the way of the Lord
Prepare the way of the Lord
And all people will see the
Salvation of our God

We Hear God's Word

Psalm 150

Praise God in his holy place, 
sing praise in the mighty heavens. 
Sing praise for God’s powerful deeds, 
praise God’s surpassing greatness.

Sing praise with sound of trumpet, 
sing praise with lute and harp. 
Sing praise with timbrel and dance, 
sing praise with strings and pipes.

Sing praise with resounding cymbals, 
sing praise with clashing of cymbals. 
Let everything that lives and that breathes 
give praise to the Lord. Alleluia!

Song: Alleluia! (Slava Tiebie Boze)

Alleluia!  Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!  Alleluia! Alleluia!
Slava tiebie Boze (Glory to thee, O God)
Slava tiebie Boze (Glory to thee, O God)
Slava tiebie Boze (Glory to thee, O God)
Alleluia!  Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!  Alleluia! Alleluia!


John 15:9-13

Jesus said: As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

We Respond in Prayer

Prayers of Thanksgiving and Intercession

Please stand when offering a prayer, so others will know you have the floor.


A Time of Silence

This time is the heart of the Taize service -- please use it to meditate or reflect silently on all the prayers that have been voiced, as well as those that remain unvoiced.


The Lord's Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.


We Go in Peace

Closing Song: The Kingdom of God

<mp3>http://mrlocke.net/files/TheKingdomofGod.mp3</mp3>


The Kingdom of God is justice and peace
And joy in the holy spirit
Come, Lord, and open in us
The gates of your kingdom.

Passing of the Peace
