OPENING MUSIC “Stand Up and Bless the Lord” Hymnal #662
“Standing on the Promises” Hymnal #374

Call to Worship: Psalm 124

If the Lord had not been on our side – let Israel say –
If the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us,
They would have swallowed us alive
when their anger flared against us;
The flood would have engulfed us,
The torrent would have swept over us,
The raging waters would have swept us away.
Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare;
The snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Congregational Prayer: Father God you are the creator of rest, beauty, and life. In you we
find goodness and our fulfillment. Reign down your love on us today. May we feel it in both
our body and soul. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
