Scripture Reading

Matthew 5:14-16 -  “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.


We Are

Every secret every shame
Every fear every pain

But that's not who we are
We are children of the day

So wake up sleeper lift your head
We were meant for more than this
Fight the shadows conquer death
Make the most of the time we have left

We are the light of the world
We are the city on a hill
We are the light of the world
And we gotta we gotta we gotta

Let the light shine
We are the light of the world
We are the city on a hill
We are the light of the world
And we gotta we gotta we gotta
Let the light shine

We are called to spread the news
To tell the world the simple truth
Jesus came to save there's freedom in His name
So let His love break through

We are the light of the world
We are the city on a hill
We are the light of the world
And we gotta we gotta we gotta
Let the light shine

We are the light of the world
We are the city on a hill
We are the light of the world
And we gotta we gotta we gotta
Let the light shine

Message: Love By Doing

What can I do for my neighbors?

St. Francis - “All the brothers should preach with their deeds.”

Matthew 5:16 - In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Love by doing; Love in deed; Love with good works


Video - “Living Out Her Faith”


Action Step

James 2:14-17 - What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.


With The Lord Begin Your Task

With the Lord begin Your task
Jesus will direct it
For His aid and counsel ask
Jesus will perfect it
Every morn with Jesus rise
And when day is ended
In His name then close your eyes
Be to Him commended

Let each day begin with prayer
Praise and adoration
On the Lord cast every care
He is your salvation
Morning evening and at night
Jesus will be near you
Save you from the tempters might
With His presence cheer you

With your Savior at your side
Foes need not alarm you
In His promises confide
And no ill can harm you
All your trust and hope repose
In the mighty Master
Who in wisdom truly knows
How to stem disaster

If your task be thus begun
With the Saviors blessing
Safely then your course will run
Toward the promise pressing
Good will follow everywhere
While you here must wander
You at last the joy will share
In the mansions yonder
