THE FOURTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
GATHERING MUSIC
CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 25.12-16, 18, 20-21 Laura Miller
One Who, then, is the man that fears the Lord?
Many GOD WILL INSTRUCT HIM IN THE WAY CHOSEN FOR HIM.
One She will spend her days in prosperity,
Many AND HER DESCENDANTS WILL INHERIT THE LAND.
One The Lord confides in those who fear him;
May HE MAKES HIS COVENANT KNOWN TO THEM.
One My eyes are ever on the Lord,
May FOR ONLY HE WILL RELEASE MY FEET FROM THE SNARE.
One Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.
Many LOOK UPON MY AFFLICTION AND MY DISTRESS AND
TAKE AWAY ALL MY SINS.
One Guard my life and rescue me, O Lord; let me not be put to shame,
for I take refuge in You.
Many MAY YOUR INTEGRITY AND UPRIGHTNESS PROTECT ME,
BECAUSE MY HOPE IS IN YOU. AMEN.

to express the joys or concerns that are on your heart today.
Then all respond by saying…
Joys: Praise God… Concerns: Lord, hear our prayer…
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever, Amen.
