Welcome
Prelude/Time of Meditation

Call to Worship (Responsively) 
      When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,  
      it was like a dream.
    Then our mouths were filled with laughter  
    and shouts of joy.
    Then it was said among the nations, “The Lord
    has done great things for them.”
    The Lord has done great things for us, and
    we rejoiced.
    Let those who plant with tears
    reap the harvest with joy.
    Let those who go out weeping come home with
    shouts of joy. Let us worship God!
