*Call to Worship

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Teach us, O Lord, the way of Your statues; and we will keep it to the end.

Wisdom cries aloud in the street, in the markets she raises her voice; she calls out to those who will listen.

Give us understanding, that we may keep Your law and observe it with our whole hearts.

We seek to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him, bearing fruit in every good work.

Therefore, fill us with the knowledge of Your will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.

The Queen of the South came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon.

All: And behold, something greater than Solomon is here. We fix our eyes on Jesus Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God.


*Processional Hymn of Worship

Congregational Prayer & The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,

thy kingdom come, thy will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power,

and the glory, forever. Amen.

Long may our land be bright with freedom’s holy light;

Protect us by Thy might – great God, our King.
