Readings: Romans 12:3-8, John 13:33-35 & Hebrews 10:22-25
 
Sentence: Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.  And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,  not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:23-25
 
 
Collect: Holy God, you call us to love you with all our passion, prayer, intelligence and energy; you call us to love our neighbor, you call us to love ourselves. Draw us closer to you, that we may reveal your mercy, justice and peace. Through Jesus Christ our Liberator, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
