*CALL TO WORSHIP from Psalm 16: 8-11 (NRSV)
We keep the LORD always before us;
because the Lord is near we shall not be moved.
Therefore hearts are glad, and
souls rejoice; our bodies also rest secure.
For God does not give us or our beloved up to destruction.
God shows the path of life.
With God is fullness of joy;
in
God’s hand pleasures forevermore.
*HYMN # 119 (Sing
Refrain before stanza 1 and after stanza 4) The Strife Is O’er
*AFFIRMATION OF
FAITH from 1
Peter 1: 3-9 (
Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
Who in great mercy gives us a
new birth as daughters and sons,
by
raising Jesus Christ from the head;
so that
we have a sure hope
and a promise that
can never be spoiled or soiled, and never fade away,
a promise kept for us
in the heavens.
Through faith, God’s power guards us
until the salvation
which has been prepared is revealed at the end of time.
This is a cause of great joy for us.
The sure end to which our faith looks forward
is the saving of our souls.
*THE PEACE
The peace
of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Peace
be with you.
(Worshipers exchange words and gestures of the peace of Christ)
