Call to Worship: Psalm 106: 1-7
Leader:
Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!
People: Who can utter the mighty deeds of the Lord, or declare all his
praise?
Leader:
Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times!
People:
Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people; help me when you save
them, that I may look upon the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may
rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.
Leader:
Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have done
wickedness.
People:
Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wondrous works; they
did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled by the sea,
at the Red Sea.
Invocation (In Unison): Psalm 106: 44-48
Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress, when he heard their cry. For their sake he
remembered his covenant, and relented according to the abundance of his
steadfast love. He caused them to be pitied by all those who held them captive.
Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give
thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise. Blessed be the Lord, the God
of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the Lord!

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
