Epiphany 7
We invite you to maintain a spirit
of silence as the prelude begins our service.
OUR APPROACH TO GOD
Prelude “Reverie”
Traditional
Introit “Only
Believe” P. Rader
Welcome
Call to
Worship: Psalm
40: la,16; Psalm 41: la, 3
Happy
are those who make the Lord their trust;
HAPPY
ARE THOSE WHO CONSIDER THE POOR;
THE LORD DELIVERS THEM IN DAY
OF
TROUBLE; TILE LORD PROTECTS THEM
AND
KEEPS THEM ALIVE.
The Lord sustains them on their sickbed;
In their illness you heal all their infirmities.
MAY
ALL WHO SEE YOU, REJOICE AND
BE
GLAD in YOU; May those WHO love
YOUR
SALVATION SAY CONTINUALLY:
“GREAT IS THE
LORD!”
*Hymn 8

Let us be before our God in silence.

41
O
LORD BE GRACIOUS TO ME; HEAL ME,
FOR I HAVE
SINNED AGAINST YOU...
O LORD BE
GRACIOUS TO ME AND
RAISE ME
UP...BLESSED BE THE LORD,
THE GOD OF
ISRAEL, FROM EVERLASTING
TO EVERLASTING. AMEN
AND AMEN.
