Sermon: “Radical Hospitality” by Breeze Everitt
Hymn: “Because I Have Been Given Much”
Because I have been given much,
I too must give;
Because of thy great bounty, Lord,
Each day I live,
I shall divide my gifts from Thee
With every brother that I see
Who has the need of help from me.
Because I have been sheltered, fed,
By Thy good care;
I cannot see another’s lack and I not share
My glowing fire, my loaf of bread,
my roof’s safe shelter overhead,
That he too may be comforted.
Because love has been lavished so
Upon me, Lord,
A wealth I know that was not meant
For me to hoard,
I shall give love to those in need—
Shall show that love by word and deed:
Thus shall my thanks be thanks indeed
Benediction
Postlude: “Cibell” by Jean Baptiste Loeillet, a gavotte-like musical piece freely arranged by David Hegarty
