Ephesians 4 – 10/8/2023

Call to Worship

Prayer:
Let us pray together. Father of Life, pour out your grace on us. Jesus, be Lord in all our ways and shepherd us the length of our days. Holy Spirit, draw us together and equip us to be the community you want us to be. Amen.

Scripture Reading – Ephesians 4:1-6
I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all.
L: The Word of God in scripture; for the Word of God within us and for the Word of God among us we say:
All: Thanks be to God.
