God
Hymn 153
Scriptural Selection
Ex 3:1-14
Silent Prayer
The Lord’s Prayer with its spiritual interpretation
Our Father which art in heaven,
Our Father-Mother God, all-harmonious,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Adorable One.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy kingdom is come; Thou art ever-present.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Enable us to know, — as in heaven, so on earth, — God is omnipotent, supreme.
Give us this day our daily bread;
Give us grace for to-day; feed the famished affections;
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And Love is reflected in love;
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
And God leadeth us not into temptation, but delivereth us from sin, disease, and death.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
For God is infinite, all-power, all Life, Truth, Love, over all, and All.
From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, pp. 16-17

GOD IS LOVE
Don Humphreys, music
1st John 4:16, text
For we have known and have believed
the love, the love that Christ hath for us.
God is love, God is love.
And he that dwelleth in love,
dwelleth in God, and God in him.
God is love, God is love.
And he that dwelleth in love,
dwelleth in God, and God in him.
Herein is our love made perfect,
that we should have boldness
in the day of judgment.
For as He is, for as He is,
so are we in this world,
so are we, so are we.
There is no fear in love,
there is no fear.
There is no fear in love,
for perfect love casteth out all fear.
God is love, God is love.
And he that dwelleth in love,
dwelleth in God, and God in him.

Responsive Reading
John 1:1–4; Psalms 119:89, 97, 103, 104 (to :), 105, 111, 116 (to :), 127 I love, 129, 130, 151, 160; 77:13 who, 14
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.
O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Through thy precepts I get understanding:
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live:
. . . I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments are truth.
Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
. . . who is so great a God as our God?
Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

Hymn 499
The scientific statement of being and its correlative scripture
There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all. Spirit is immortal Truth; matter is mortal error. Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal. Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness. Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 468:9-15)
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
(I John 3:1–3)
