WELCOME, INTRODUCING GUESTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
PRELUDE
* CALL TO WORSHIP
Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, truth;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

THANK YOU
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ at The Grove,
Jane and I are humbled and thank you for your prayers, thoughts,

anxious to return to feeling myself again. As Thanksgiving approaches and
the Blessed Christmas Season, may you all be filled with the Grace and
Peace of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Blessings and Love,
Bob and Jane Perry
