ORGAN PRELUDE
WELCOME
CALL TO WORSHIP
In you O God, we take refuge.
At times there are those who will do their best to put
me to shame.
You are righteousness, O God.
You will not always be able to deliver me and rescue me
from the people who turn against me when I try to speak
your truth.
You are our ROCK, our ROOF and a STRONG FORTRESS.
Let us gather to Praise your Holy Name!
* HYMN #217 “All Creatures Of Our God And King”
PRAYER OF APPROACH
God whose voice echoes all around and deep inside,
speak to us through gentle reminders, hard truths,
encouraging ideas, and emerging thoughts.
Then put your words in our mouths that we may
speak the ways of your love as we pray together saying
Our Father ... ... Amen.
