Amen.
People: Praise be to you, O LORD; teach me your decrees. I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches.

GIVE PRAISE TO GOD **Hymn of Praise
God of Grace and God of Glory - #358 Lighting of the Candles Placement of the Bible Prayer of Confession Gracious and loving God, we confess today that we have not loved you with all that we are. The affections of our heart are so often divided, treasuring your gifts above you the giver. The thoughts of our mind are so easily distracted, drawn to worry rather than prayer. Forgive us and renew us in heart and mind that we might live for your glory in all that we do. We ask this in the name of your Son Jesus who went to the cross and rose again that we might be confident of your mercy. Amen.

FLOWERS IN WORSHIP
The beautiful flowers in the Sanctuary this morning are given to the glory of God and in Loving Memory of Peggy and A. J. Gordon. They are the gift of their daughter, Judy Collier. *Those who are able, please stand. ** Ushers will seat latecomers at this time. If your young child needs attention during worship, live broadcasts of the service are available in The Williams Center, and the Mothers and Infants Room off of the Williams Center.
The human body is a growing theme in contemporary culture. From tattoos and substance use to an increased focus on sexuality as a means for self identity reveal a relaxation with and for the body as a vehicle for self-expression.
MY BODY
Ironically, much of this seeming love for the body is a current version of an ancient heresy, the denial of the body. The Gnostics espoused this early church heresy and believed in the mind, but not the body. Because the body was nothing, they believed it was disposable - they

could do anything with it and to it, and it didn’t matter.
The Bible teaches something different - that we don’t

have a body, but that we are a body, made in God’s image. My Body...His Temple explores what it means to be made by God. Don’t accept the tyranny of others who would tell you how good your body is. Your body is you, it is made by God, and it is of sacred value.
