THE SEVENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
GATHERING MUSIC
CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 139.7-12 Diane Leveille
One Where can I go from your Spirit?
Many WHERE CAN I FLEE FROM YOUR PRESENCE?
One If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
Many IF I MAKE MY BED IN THE DEPTHS, YOU ARE THERE.
One If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
Many IF I SETTLE ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE SEA,
One Even there your hand will guide me,
Many YOUR RIGHT HAND WILL HOLD ME FAST.
One If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me,
Many AND THE LIGHT BECOME NIGHT AROUND ME,"
One Even the darkness will not be dark to You;
Many THE NIGHT WILL SHINE LIKE THE DAY,
FOR DARKNESS IS AS LIGHT TO YOU. AMEN.

As the pastor moves among the congregation, be encouraged
to express the joys or concerns that are on your heart today.
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.
