Call to Worship The Scriptural call to worship at the beginning of our service is a reminder that, as we gather, it is God who initiates and reveals Himself to us through His Word, and we respond to Him. Come and see what God has done. He is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man. Psalm 66:5 Pastoral Prayer I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I set your rules before me. I cling to your testimonies, O Lord; let me not be put to shame! I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart! Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes; and I will keep it to the end. Psalm 119:1 8 Offering Giving is an act of worship in which we give generously of our substance to further the mission of the church and to bring glory to God. Benediction Finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. 2 Corinthians 13:11 3

You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony. You shall not covet. You shall have no other gods before me. Exodus 20:3 PRAYER Holy God, you showed your love to your people by giving them your commands. May we always give thanks for your law.
