Prelude 

Coming into the presence of the living God  

*Receiving the Lord’s call to come to him in worship – Psalm 100 

Pastor: Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth! Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!  

Congregation: Know that the LORD, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.  

Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!  

For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.  

*Lifting our hearts to the Lord in humble adoration and praise 

Pastor: O LORD, you are God—the good God whose steadfast love and faithfulness endure forever! You have gathered us to worship you this morning, and we ask that you would work in our hearts and lives that we would do so in spirit and truth, as Jesus said we must, and not worship you according to the pathetic whims of our finite and sinful minds. Not only do we want this, but we need this, and thus we ask for it in the name of our Savior, who taught us to pray… 

Congregation: Our Father…
