Welcome
*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!

*Hymn "O God of Vision"
Let us be before our
God in silence.
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)
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.
CHRIST, HAVE MERCY ON US.
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.
A Word of Assurance:
Joel 2: 28
"I will pour out my spirit on all flesh;
your sons and daughters shall prophesy,
your old shall dream dreams and your youth
shall see visions...in those days, I will pour
out my spirit."
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.

Am, Lord"
