*Call to Worship (Psalm 105:1-4 CEB)...Joey Vander Vorste
Give thanks to the LORD; call upon God’s name; make the LORD’S deeds known to all people! Sing to God; sing praises to the Lord; dwell on all the LORD’S wondrous works! Give praise to God’s holy name! Let the hearts rejoice of all those seeking the LORD! Pursue the LORD and his strength; seek the LORD’S face always!

Litany of Mercy...Joey Vander Vorste

Loving God, we come to you for truth, that we might see clearly and that we might understand. We come to You for comfort, that we might be sustained and that we might be understood. We come to You for challenge, that we might be reminded that our ways are not Your ways and that we can change. We come to You, Holy One. We come to You.
