*Call to Worship (Psalm 106:1-6, CEB)...Tim Cook
Praise the LORD! Give thanks to the LORD because God is good, because the Lord’s faithful love endures forever. Who could possibly repeat all of the LORD’s mighty acts or publicly recount all God’s praise? The people who uphold justice, who always do what is right, are truly happy! Remember me, LORD, with the favor You show Your people. Visit me with Your saving help so I can experience the good things Your chosen ones experience, so I can rejoice in the joy of Your nation, so I can praise along with Your possession.
*Hymn...“Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart” (UMH #160)
For God’s Gifts (UMH #489)...Tim Cook
O Holy God, open unto me light for my darkness, courage for my fear, hope for my despair. O loving God, open unto me wisdom for my confusion, forgiveness for my sins, love for my hate. O God of peace, open unto me peace for my turmoil, joy for my sorrow, strength for my weakness. O generous God, open my heart to receive all Your gifts. Amen.
