Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” Response All: Holy God, one in grace, one in glory, one in love – you call us to love and serve you as one people, united in heart, mind, spirit, and strength. Help us to love one another, living in unity and peace, working together in your Spirit for the good of all; through Jesus Christ, our reconciler and redeemer. AMEN. Scripture and Message 1 John 4:18-19 “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Everyone is welcome to come to the “Farewell Picnic/Potluck” at “Hi” Pray Park at 1pm today! (Elk Lake Rd. just north of M-72)

Kind of like a walking or exercise buddy, it’s good to have a daily walk with prayer. The Upper Room Publication (available in the hallway!) is just that—a daily devotional with a short uplifting message and a chance to chat with God. They are there for you—if you’re able to leave a $2 donation, great—if not, that’s fine too! CALLING ALL BOTTLE/CAN RETURNS! Deposit $ goes to ACTS. (Acme Christian

Thrift Store) There are boxes in the Sunshine Room upstairs and one by the back door

in Fellowship Hall.
