O God, whose glory it is always to have mercy: Be gracious to all who have gone astray from your ways, and bring them again with penitent hearts and steadfast faith to embrace and hold fast the unchangeable truth of your Word.

PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP
The Bible is more than a historical relic. It is the living, powerful Word of God
(Heb. 4:12), in which we encounter the Lord and discover how to live for Him and honor Him. “I will never forget Your precepts,” the psalmist concluded, “for by them You have given me life.” (119:93).

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
Something beautiful, something good; All my confusion He understood. All I had to offer Him was brokenness and strife, But He made something beautiful of my life.
I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR
I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord; No tender voice like Thine can peace afford. I need Thee, O I need Thee; Every hour I need Thee! O bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee.
ISN’T HE
Isn’t He beautiful? Beautiful isn’t He? Prince of Peace, Son of God, Isn’t He? Isn’t He wonderful? Wonderful isn’t He? Counselor, Almighty God, Isn’t He? Isn’t He, Isn’t He, Isn’t He?
*Congregational Call to Worship (Psalm 119) Julia Rogers
LEADER: I have not departed from your laws, for you yourself have taught me.
PEOPLE: How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
LEADER: I gain understanding from your precepts, therefore I hate every wrong path.
PEOPLE: Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
LEADER: I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws.
PEOPLE: I have suffered much; preserve my life, O LORD, according to your word.
LEADER: Accept, O LORD, the willing praise of my mouth, and teach me your laws.
PEOPLE: Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart.

Jeremiah 32:37- Behold I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me? As we give our offerings this morning, let us remember that our God can do the impossible with our meager fare. In giving your best to the Master, we provide the opportunities for God to touch people in wonderful and dramatic ways.

Shout to the Lord, all the earth let us sing; power and majesty, praise to the King. Mountains bow down and the seas will roar at the sound of Your Name. I sing for joy at the work of your hands; forever I’ll love You, forever I’ll stand. Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.
