THE TENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
GATHERING MUSIC
CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 19.7-14 Melanie Branson
One The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul.
Many THE STATUTES OF THE LORD ARE TRUSTWORTHY,
MAKING WISE THE SIMPLE.
One The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart.
Many THE COMMANDS OF THE LORD ARE RADIANT,
GIVING LIGHT TO THE EYES.
One The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever.
Many THE ORDINANCES OF THE LORD ARE SURE AND ALTOGETHER
RIGHTEOUS.
One They are more precious than gold, even than much pure gold;
Many THEY ARE SWEETER THAN HONEY, HONEY STRAIGHT FROM
THE COMB.
One By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
Many WHO CAN DISCERN HIS ERRORS? FORGIVE ALL MY HIDDEN
FAULTS.
One Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me.
Many THEN WILL I BE BLAMELESS, INNOCENT OF GREAT TRANS- GRESSION.
One May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be
pleasing in your sight,
Many O LORD, MY ROCK AND MY REDEEMER. AMEN.

Lord, listen to your children praying
Lord, send your Spirit in this place
Lord, listen to your children praying
Send us love, send us power, send us grace.
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.
