Order of Worship

Welcome & Life in the Body

Call to Worship: Psalm 19:1-4  The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,

Song #606: Christ, the Sure and Steady Anchor

Affirmation of Faith from Psalm 5    [Congregation will read the text in bold.]

For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;

The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers.

But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house.

Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies;

Make your way straight before me.

Make them bear their guilt, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you.

But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you.

For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favor as with a shield.
