THE PSALTER READING Psalm 126 (Responsively) HEAD Sermon Notes LEADER: People: LEADER: People: LEADER: People: When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter; and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them. The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad. Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like streams in the Negeb! Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him. HEART HANDS
CORNERSTONE Jesus, Lover of My Soul PRELUDE WORDS OF WELCOME CALL TO WORSHIP Reverend Ellis Brooks Rev. Ellis * HYMN OF PRAISE O, for a Thousand Tongues * APOSTLES CREED I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth: and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead, He ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence, He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the Communion of saints, the Forgiveness of sins, the Resurrection of the body; And the Life everlasting. Amen.
