Prelude

Rondo on Two Welsh Hymn Tunes       Ennis Fruhauf




*Call to Worship

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.

Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.

I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!

For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.

All: Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.

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.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him all creatures here below;

Praise Him above, ye heavenly host: Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

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

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