OUR
APPROACH TO GOD
Prelude
Introit
Welcome
*Call to Worship: Psalm 136
O give thanks to the Lord,

Unison Prayer: Psalm 30
I WILL
EXTOL YOU, O LORD, FOR YOU HAVE DRAWN ME UP. O LORD MY GOD, I CRIED TO
YOU FOR HELP AND YOU HAVE HEALED ME. O LORD, YOU BROUGHT UP MY SOUL
FROM SHEOL, RESTORED ME TO LIFE.
LORD, HAVE MERCY
ON US.
CHRIST, HAVE MERCY ON US.
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.
A Word of Assurance: Jeremiah
30:12-13, 17
"For thus says the Lord: Your hurt is incurable,
your wound is grevious. For I will restore health to you, and your
wounds I will heal, says the Lord."
The Summary of the
Law (Mk 12: 29-31)
This is the first commandment:
HEAR O ISRAEL,
THE LORD OUR GOD,
THE LORD IS ONE!
THEREFORE YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD
WITH ALL YOUR HEART,
WITH ALL YOUR SOUL,
WITH ALL YOUR MIND,
AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.
This is the second
commandment:
YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS
YOURSELF.
There is no greater
commandment than these.

All Loves Excelling" C. Wesley
