Welcome


Review of Covenant of Church Membership       Insert Prelude/Time of Meditation

Call to Worship* (Responsively)   

Praise the Holy One! From the rising of the sun until its setting, the name of God deserves our praise!   

Who is like our God…seated on high?

Praise the Most High, who observes all things and remembers the poor and those in need.

God our Righteousness raises the lowly and levels the exalted.

Praise the Righteous One, who is just and mighty, who repairs and redeems.

The Redeemer pours out love and justice, compassion and conviction, hope and salvation. Praise the Holy One!

Sending Forth                    “The Family of God”

   I’m so glad I’m a part of the family of God--   I’ve been washed in the fountain, cleansed by his blood!   Joint heirs with Jesus as .we travel this sod--   For I’m part of the family, the family of God.

  1 Timothy 2:1, 2   

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
