CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 150 from (The
Message)
Hallelujah!
Praise God in this holy house of worship.
Praise God under open skies.
Praise
for acts of power, for magnificent greatness;
Praise God with a blast on the trumpet, by strumming soft strings.
Praise God with castanets and dance, with banjo and flute.
Praise God with cymbals and a big bass drum, with fiddles and mandolin.
Let
every living, breathing creature praise God!
*PROCESSIONAL HYMN # 257
Give Praise to the Lord
*AFFIRMATION OF GOD’S CALL & THE
CHURCH’S FAITH (unison)
Philippians 4: 4-9 (NRSV)
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will
say, Rejoice.
Let your gentleness be known to
everyone. The Lord is near.
Do not worry about anything
but in everything by prayer and
supplication with thanksgiving
let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses
all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in
Christ Jesus.
Finally, beloved, whatever is true,
whatever is honorable, whatever is just,
whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing,
whatever is commendable,
if there is any excellence and if there
is anything worthy of praise,
think about these things.
Keep on doing the things
that you have learned and received and
heard and seen in me,
and the God of peace will be with you.
*THE PEACE
The
God of peace be with you.
Peace be with you.
(Worshipers greet one another with words
and gestures of peace)
