PRAYER OF LOVE
Having joined us to Christ Jesus, you have sent your Spirit to dwell in us so that we may take your light and love into a dark, broken world in desperate need of you. We exalt your name by sharing your love with others until that day when you call us to eternal glory.

SCRIPTURE READING
Ephesians 5:8–14
Ephesians 5:8–14
. . . for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,
“Awake, O sleeper,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”
