Adapted from 1 John 4:7-15

Dear friends, 

Let us love one another, for love comes from God. 

Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. This is love: 

Not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 

God is love.  

Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. God, please help us to experience your love today so we can embody it for others as we go forth from here.

For the beauty of human love 

Brother, sister, parent, child. 

Friends on earth and friends above, 

For all gentle thoughts and mild; 

Lord of all, to thee we raise, 

This, our hymn of grateful praise. 

We come to you, today, Lord, to offer our thanks for all you do.
