FW: KBC – WELCOME MESSAGE – 1 MARCH 2015

Welcome to our service – whether you are part of our local church, whether you are a visitor, whether you do not regularly attend church – welcome. As we prepare for worship, meditate upon this prayer.

A Puritan Prayer of Adoration to the Trinity.

Three in one, one in three, God of my salvation,

Heavenly Father, blessed Son, eternal Spirit, I adore thee as one Being, one Essence, one God in three distinct Persons, for bringing sinners to thy

knowledge and to thy kingdom.

O Father, thou hast loved me and sent Jesus to redeem me;

O Jesus, thou hast loved me and assumed my nature, shed thine own blood to wash away my sins, wrought righteousness to cover my unworthiness;

O Holy Spirit, thou hast loved me and entered my heart, implanted there eternal life, revealed to me the glories of Jesus.

Three Persons and one God, I bless and praise thee, for love so unmerited, so unspeakable, so wondrous, so mighty to save the lost and raise them to glory.

O Triune God, who commandeth the universe, thou hast commanded me to ask for those things that concern thy kingdom and my soul. Let me live and pray as one baptized into the threefold Name.
