3. Meditation
I Cor. 12:24b-27NIV
…God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the part with less honor so that there won’t be division in the body and so the parts might have mutual concern for each other. If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part gets the glory, all the parts celebrate with it. You are the body of Christ and parts of each other.

8. I have found a friend in Jesus, he's everything to me, he's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul; the Lily of the Valley, in him alone I see all I need to cleanse and make me fully whole. In sorrow he's my comfort, in trougle he's my stay, he tells me every care on him to roll. He's the Lily of the Valley, the bright and Morning Star, he's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

9. He's the Lily of the Valley,
He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here, while I live by faith and do his blessed will; a wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear, with his manna he my hungry soul shall fill. Then sweeping up to glory, to see his blessed face, where rivers of delight shall ever roll.
He's the Lily of the Valley,
the bright and Morning Star, he's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

10. *Opening Prayer

O God, send your Spirit upon us. So fill us with your Holy Spirit and love that we might share your love with the poor, reach those who are bound in mind or body, and be healed of our blindness to others and their worth so that we might have true compassion and love. Amen.

22. Scripture Reading
Luke 4:14-21
1Now concerning spiritual gifts,* brothers and sisters,* I do not want you to be uninformed. 2You know that when you were pagans, you were enticed and led astray to idols that could not speak. 3Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says ‘Let Jesus be cursed!’ and no one can say ‘Jesus is Lord’ except by the Holy Spirit. 4Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; 6and there are

23. Scripture Reading
I Corinthians 12:1-11
varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. 7To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues

24. Sermon
The Spirit of the Lord

25. I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of Heaven and earth;
The Apostle’s Creed
(Hymnal # 881)
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of Heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried;

26. the third day, He rose from the dead; he ascended to Heaven, and sitteth
at the right hand of the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge
the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
