than the Entrance Doors to the church. We keep the Church Office locked due to
Records & equipment which could be taken. The Board of Education Office should
be treated the the same way. Papers or other materials may be in place for Classes
or in order for presentation. Please respect others and leave them alone. Thank

Invocation & Call to Worship Loretta Hirschman

Leader: But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
All: And Jesus said to him, you shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
Leader: If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even
sinners love those who love them.
All: By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for
one another.
Leader: If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
All: But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in
return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High.
