Introit
Call to
Worship: Psalm 118
This is the day that the Lord has made! Let us rejoice and be glad!
THIS IS THE LORD'S DOING! IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES!
I thank you, God, for you are good! You are my God and I give thanks to you!
GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD FOR GOD IS GOOD, GOD'S STEADFAST LOVE ENDURES FOREVER!

Let us pause in silence before our God.
Unison Prayer: Psalm 139
YOU KNOW ME, GOD. YOU KNOW
WHEN I SIT AND WHEN I STAND. YOU FIND EVERY PATH I TRAVEL ON. YOU KNOW
WHEN I AM LYING DOWN. YOU KNOW WHAT I AM GOING TO SAY EVEN BEFORE I SAY
IT. YOU ARE BEHIND ME AND IN FRONT OF ME, YOU LAY YOUR HAND ON ME. I
CAN'T ESCAPE YOU. YOU FORMED ME AND KNIT ME TOGETHER WHEN I WAS IN MY
MOTHER'S WOMB. I THANK YOU, GOD, THAT I HAVE BEEN FEARFULLY,
WONDERFULLY MADE!
Kyrie
(sung)
