Praise & Worship Praise Team
* Call to Worship
Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion;
And to you shall vows be performed.
To you who hears prayer and all flesh shall come because of their sins.
When our transgressions prevail over us, you forgive them.
Blessed are those whom You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts!
We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, your holy temple.
* Opening Hymn O God, Our Help in Ages Past # 117
Invocation ( Litany of Thanksgiving )
Let us give thanks for all of God’s mercies. O God, our Covenant Friend, You have been gracious to us through all the years of our lives. We thank You for Your loving care, which has filled our days and brought us to this time and place.
We Praise Your Holy name, O God.
You have given us life and reason, and set us in a world filled with Your glory. You have comforted us with family and friends, and ministered to us through the hands of our sisters and brothers.
We Praise Your Holy name, O God.
You have filled our hearts with a hunger after You, and have given us Your peace. You have redeemed us, and called us to a high calling in Christ Jesus. You have given us a place in the fellowship of Your Spirit and the witness of Your Church.
We Praise Your Holy name, O God.
You have been our light in darkness and a rock of strength in adversity and temptation. You have been the very Spirit of joy in our joys and the all-sufficient reward in all our labors.
We Praise Your Holy name, O God.
You remembered us when we forgot You. You followed us even when we tried to flee from You. You met us with forgiveness when we returned to You. For all Your patience and overflowing grace,
We Praise Your Holy name, O God.
