Prelude

*Receiving the Lord’s call to come to him in worship – Psalm 33:1-5 

Pastor: Shout for joy in the LORD, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright.

Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.  

For the word of the LORD is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness. He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD.

Pastor: Eternal God, we praise you for your righteousness, justice, and steadfast love, and we ask that you would work in our hearts that your holy name might always be magnified among us. Imprint your mighty and holy Word on our hearts for your glory and our joy and obedience. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, your Son, who taught us to pray…
