I. Prayer- Most Blessed, Most Beautiful
Most blessed, most beautiful Christ,
in you we receive all things
The receiving takes growth, so you give us guiding-
saints and sages and scripture
Thank you for the guiding
The receiving takes others, so you give us the world-
nature and neighbors and nations
Thank you for the world
The receiving takes change, so you give us seasons-
life and death and new life
Thank you for the seasons
The receiving takes time, so you give us time-
present and future and forever
Thank you for the time
Most blessed, most beautiful
You give us yourself
And in you, O Christ
We belong to you and to God and to all
Thank you for the giving
II. Scripture reading with sung response
ALL SINGING
Humble Thyself in the sight of the Lord by Bob Hudson (CCLI #26564)
Instrumental continues during scripture reading
ONE READING- Philippians 2:1-5
If then there is any encouragement in Christ,
any consolation from love, any sharing in the Spirit,
any compassion and sympathy, make my joy complete:
be of the same mind, having the same love,
being in full accord and of one mind.
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit,
but in humility regard others as better than yourselves.
Let each of you look not to your own interests,
but to the interests of others.
Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus…

ONE READING- Philippians 2:5-8
Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus
who, though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be exploited,
but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
being born in human likeness.
And being found in human form,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross.

ONE READING- Philippians 2:9-11
He humbled himself and became obedient
Therefore God also highly exalted him
and gave him the name that is above every name,
so that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
