Order of Service

Welcome

Call to Worship (Based on Psalm 138 and Isaiah 51)

Come, let us give thanks to the Lord with our whole hearts!
Let us sing praises to the One whose steadfast love and faithfulness endure forever.
On the day we called, the Lord answered us; He increased our strength of soul.
Listen closely, you who pursue righteousness and seek the Lord:
Look to the rock from which you were hewn, the deep foundation of God's ancient promises.
The heavens may vanish like smoke, and the earth wear out like a garment, but God's salvation is forever.
Though the Lord is high, He regards the lowly;
though we walk in the midst of trouble, He stretches out His hand to save us.
The Lord will fulfill His purpose for us.
Do not forsake the work of Your hands, O God! Let us worship the Living Lord!
