*CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm
84: 1-5a (NRSV)
How
lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts!
My soul longs, indeed it faints for the
courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh sing for joy to

Happy are those who live in your house,
ever singing your praise.
Happy are those who strength is in you!

good thing does the LORD withhold from those who walk uprightly.
O
LORD of hosts, happy is everyone who trusts in you.
*THE PEACE
The
peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Peace
be with you.

the peace of Christ)
