Love

Greater Things Worship Series: LOVE
Fourth Sunday After the Epiphany — February 3, 2019

Planning for this Series

If you are a church that celebrates Communion on the first Sunday of the month, then you are in luck. Communion is the perfect liturgical act to wrap up this series about the oneness of your congregation. You could also consider having a love feast after the worship service. The title for this week is “Love,” and the reading will be familiar to anyone who has attended a wedding. Because the reading is so familiar, consider having an unusual voice read the Scripture today, perhaps a child or youth. Or split the reading into two or three parts. This will help your congregation hear these words with fresh ears.

In 2015, Taylor Burton-Edwards encouraged testimonies of God’s love as part of the worship service. This would be an excellent wrap-up to the series and a launch into the next series #SeeAllThePeople, which is all about putting God’s love into action out in the community and the world. Use the idea of love in your worship to bridge from this week into next week. Be sure to invite folks to join you for #SeeAllThePeople, which will take us all the way to Ash Wednesday.
