Lord is in His Holy Temple”
Welcome
Call to Worship: Isaiah

THINGS LET THEM BE MADE KNOW TO THE WHOLE WORLD!

Let us be before our God in silence.
Unison Prayer: Isaiah
25: 1 — ff
YOU
ARE MY GOD, I EXTOL YOU, I PRAISE YOUR NAME; FOR YOU HAVE CARRIED OUT YOUR
EXCELLENT DESIGN, LONG PLANNED, TRUSTWORTHY, TRUE...FOR YOU ARE A REFUGE FOR
THE POOR, A REFUGE FOR THE NEEDY IN DISTRESS, A SHELTER FROM THE STORM,
A SHADE FROM THE HEAT, WHILE THE BREATH OF PITILESS MEN IS LIKE THE
WINTER STORM. LIKE DROUGHT IN A DRY LAND, YOU WILL REPRESS THE CLAMOR OF THE
PROUD.
Kyrie (sung)
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.
CHRIST, HAVE MERCY ON US.
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.
A Word of Assurance: Isaiah
25: 6 - 9
The Summary of the Law (Mk 12:
29-31)
This is the first commandment:
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 second commandment:
YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
There is no greater commandment than these.
