We invite you to maintain a spirit
of silence as the prelude begins our service.
OUR APPROACH TO GOD
Prelude "Meditation"
Traditional
Introit "Precious
Lord, Take My Hand"
Welcome
Call to Worship: Psalm 134
Come,
bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord:
WE WHO STAND BY
NIGHT IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD!
Lift up your
hands to the holy place, and bless the Lord!
MAY
THE LORD BLESS YOU FROM ZION! GOD WHO MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH!

Thou Fount of Every Blessing"
Let us be before our God in silence.
Unison Prayer: Isaiah
61: 10ff
I WILL
GREATLY REJOICE IN THE LORD,
MY WHOLE
BEING SHALL EXULT IN
MY GOD; FOR
GOD HAS CLOTHED ME
WITH THE
GARMENTS OF SALVATION,
GOD HAS
COVERED ME WITH THE ROBE
OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS...FOR AS THE
EARTH BRINGS
FORTH ITS SHOOTS,
AND AS A
GARDEN CAUSES WHAT IS
SOWN TO
SPRING UP, SO THE LORD
GOD WILL
CAUSE RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND PRAISE
TO SPRING UP BEFORE
ALL THE NATIONS.
Kyrie (sung)
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.
CHRIST, HAVE MERCY ON US.
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.
