OUR
APPROACH TO GOD
Prelude
Introit “Only Believe” P. Rader
Welcome!
Call to Worship: Psalm 50:1, Isaiah 2:21; Psalm
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!
*Hymn 285 “In Christ There Is No East or West”
Let us be before our God in silence.
Unison Prayer: Psalm 80
RESTORE US, O GOD OF HOSTS; LET YOUR FACE SHINE, THAT WE MAY BE SAVED.
YOU BROUGHT A VINE OUT OF EGYPT; YOU DROVE OUT THE NATIONS AND PLANTED IT.
YOU CLEARED THE GROUND FOR IT; IT TOOK DEEP ROOT AND FILLED THE
LAND...TURN AGAIN, O GOD OF HOSTS; LOOK DOWN FROM HEAVEN, AND SEE; HAVE
REGARD FOR THIS VINE, THE STOCK THAT YOUR RIGHT HAND PLANTED.
Kyrie
(sung)
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.
CHRIST, HAVE MERCY ON US.
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.

The Summary of the
Law
(Mark

This is the

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

There
