Prelude
*Receiving the Lord’s Invitation to Come to Him in Worship – Psalm 107:1-3
Pastor: Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!
Congregation: Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
*Lifting our hearts to the Lord in humble adoration and praise
Pastor: O Lord, we give thanks to you, for you are good and your steadfast love endures forever! We praise you that you have redeemed us from all our trouble! You have saved our souls and rescued us from the kingdom of darkness! We thank you O Lord that you have called us from the farthest reaches of the earth. You have gathered us together to be your people. We who once were not a people have now become your people. We worship you for the grace that you have given to us in Christ Jesus our Lord. Glorify your name as we come to declare your greatness and majesty, your mercy and your love, praying together the prayer that our Lord Jesus taught us...
