Call to Worship

Give thanks to the Lord, proclaim his 
greatness; tell the nations what he has done.
—Psalm 105:1 NIV

We will sing praises to God and tell of 
the wonderful things he has done.

The Lord is compassionate and gracious, 
slow to anger and rich in love.
—Psalm 103:8 NIV

Be glad that we belong to him; let all 
who worship him rejoice.

Grace to you and peace from God our 
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen!
