THE CALL TO WORSHIP (Pastor / CONGREGATION) (Psalm 100) Shout to the Lord, all the earth; SERVE THE LORD WITH GLADNESS; Come into His presence with singing; KNOW THAT THE LORD IS OUR GOD; It is He who has made us and we are His; WE ARE HIS PEOPLE AND THE SHEEP OF HIS PASTURE;
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving; COME INTO HIS COURTS WITH PRAISE; Give thanks to the Lord and praise His name; FOR THE LORD IS GOOD and his love endures forever; HIS FAITHFULNESS CONTINUES THROUGH ALL GENERATIONS.
**THE OPENING HYMN TO GOD BE THE GLORY
(1a) To God be the glory, Great things he has done. So loved He the world that He gave us His son Who yielded His life An atonement for sin, And opened the Life-Gate That all may go in.
(1b) Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Let the earth hear His voice! Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Let the people rejoice! O come to the Father Through Jesus the Son, And give Him the glory, Great things He has done.
(2a) O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood, To every believer The promise of God; The vilest offender Who truly believes, That moment from Jesus A pardon receives.
(2b) Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Let the earth hear His voice! Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Let the people rejoice! O come to the Father Through Jesus the Son, And give Him the glory, Great things He has done.
(3a) Great things He has taught us, Great things He has done, And great our rejoicing Through Jesus the Son; But purer and higher And greater will be Our wonder, our transport, When Jesus we see.
(3b) Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Let the earth hear His voice! Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Let the people rejoice! O come to the Father Through Jesus the Son, And give Him the glory, Great things He has done.

A BRIEF REPORT ON THE FORMATION OF A PASTORAL SEARCH COMMITTEE Elder Neil VanDerJagt, CPA, Vice-President of Consistory
THE HEBREW SCRIPTURE PSALM 8:1-9 Read by Elder Neil VanDerJagt, CPA O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants You have ordained praise because of Your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. When I consider Your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?
You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! 1 CHRONICLES 29:10-13 David praised the LORD in the presence of the whole assembly, saying, "Praise be to You, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is Yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; You are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from You; You are the ruler of all things. In Your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give You thanks, and praise Your glorious name.
MY TRIBUTE To God be the glory; To God be the glory; To God be the glory for the things He has done. With His blood He has saved me; With His power He has raised me; To God be the glory for the things He has done. (REPEAT)
