Call to Worship
Leader: Sing for Joy, O heavens and exult, O earth; Break forth O Mountains into singing.
People: For the Lord has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his suffering ones.
Opening Prayer (Leader Only)
We enter your courts with praise, O God; we come into your house with thanksgiving. In Christ you give us the cup of salvation; in him we receive the bread of life. To you our vows are to be made; you shall hear our confession of faith. So be with us now as we gather; and be pleased with the homage we bring. Amen.
