OUR APPROACH TO GOD
Prelude
Introit "Only Believe" P. Rader
Welcome
Call to Worship: Ps 50:1, Isaiah 2:21;
Ps 96
The mighty one, God the Lord,
SPEAKS AND SUMMONS THE EARTH
In the final days the temple will tower about the highest hills and
mountains,
ALL NATIONS WILL STREAM TOWARD IT.
Tell the nations, "The Lord rules!"
LET HEAVEN AND EARTH BE GLAD!
Let sea and sea creatures roar,
LET THE FIELD AND ITS BEASTS EXULT!

TO
YOU, O LORD, I LIFT UP MY SOUL. MAKE ME TO KNOW YOUR WAYS, O LORD; TEACH ME YOUR
PATHS. LEAD ME IN YOUR TRUTH, AND TEACH ME, FOR YOU ARE THE GOD OF MY
SALVATION...BE MINDFUL OF YOUR MERCY, O LORD, AND OF YOUR STEADFAST LOVE...DO
NOT REMEMBER THE SINS OF MY YOUTH. ACCORDING TO YOUR STEADFAST LOVE, REMEMBER
ME.

The Summary of God's Law
(Mk 12:29b-31)
This is the first commandment:
