Prelude

“Sarabande (Land of Rest)”                                                      Gerald Near




*Call to Worship

Psalm 63

 

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirst for you;

My flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.

Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.

So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.

My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,

When I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night;

For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.

All: My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.

*Processional Hymn of Worship

#356

“All Creatures of Our God and King”

Greeting One Another

"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” - John 13:35

Congregational Prayer & The Cadet 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.
