This morning, we enter a time of worship with these words from Paul, “Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thess. 5:18). No matter what circumstances come our way, we have much for which to be thankful. As you prepare your hearts for worship this morning, praise the Lord for who he is and thank God for all his blessings.

Although this service was used for the dedication of Sing! A New Creation, it could also be used as a pattern for the dedication of other songbooks, or simply as a stand-alone service on Psalm 98. A lay person read the Psalm passages and an elder read the prayers. —JH Reading: Psalm 67:3 Sing to the Lord a New Song Reading: Psalm 98:1 Songs “Sing a New Song” SNC 1, WR 10 “We Bring the Sacrifice of Praise” CH 213, SNC 12, WR 651
