THE SECOND SUNDAY IN KINGDOMTIDE
GATHERING MUSIC
CALL TO WORSHIP Exodus 15.1-2, 6-7, 11, 13, 17 Melanie Branson
One I will sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted.
Many THE HORSE AND ITS RIDER HE HAS HURLED INTO THE SEA.
One The Lord is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation.
Many HE IS MY GOD, AND I WILL PRAISE HIM, MY FATHER'S GOD,
AND I WILL EXALT HIM.
One Your right hand, O Lord, was majestic in power.
Many YOUR RIGHT HAND, O LORD, SHATTERED THE ENEMY.
One In the greatness of your majesty, You threw down those who
opposed You.
Manu YOU UNLEASHED YOUR BURNING ANGER;
IT CONSUMED THEM LIKE STUBBLE.
One Who among the gods is like you, O Lord?
Many WHO IS LIKE YOU--MAJESTIC IN HOLINESS,
AWESOME IN GLORY, WORKING WONDERS?
One In your unfailing love You will lead the people You have redeemed.
Many IN YOUR STRENGTH YOU WILL GUIDE THEM TO YOUR
HOLY DWELLING.
One You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of your
inheritance--
Many THE PLACE, O LORD, YOU MADE FOR YOUR DWELLING,
THE SANCTUARY, O LORD, YOUR HANDS ESTABLISHED.

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.
