All of our treasures
We joyfully give –
The prayers that we whisper,
The lives that we live.

For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies.

For the beauty of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon, and stars light;

Let the cuddly kitten, with its curly, purr-ly breath praise the Lord. (purr)

who has created and is creating,
who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh,
to reconcile and make new,
who works in us and others by the Spirit.
We trust in God.
We are called to be the church:
to celebrate God’s presence,
to love and serve others,
to seek justice and resist evil,
to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,
our judge and our hope.
In life, in death, in life beyond death,
God is with us.
We are not alone.
Thanks be to God. Amen.

Musical Prayer Response
Emma Ryan Klaerner, daughter of Jennifer Klaerner and Justin Klaerner,
sister of Grace and Natalie
Jesus loves me! This I know, for the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to him belong; they are weak, but he is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.
With God’s help we will so order our lives after the example of Christ that Emma Ryan, surrounded by steadfast love, may be established in the faith, and confirmed and strengthened in the way that leads to life eternal.
