After the Prayer of Confession and Assurance of Pardon, we read Psalm 25 responsively. Tire choir's anthem this morning was the most appropriate "Isn't f The Love of Jesus Something Wonderful". Lay Reader for the day was Echo Savage who re,ad the scripture from Matthew'7; 1 - 14 as a preface to the Message about the sixth Beatitude. The Message was entitled "Sowing The Seeds of Peace". "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." After the Prayer of Commitment we then sang "Make Me a Channel of Your Peace" as the Hymn of Commitment, then "the Lord's Prayer" and closed with "Go Now In Peace".
