Welcome and Notices
Call to Worship (Psalm 119: 129-136)
Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his faithful, to those who turn to him in their hearts.
Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land.
Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other.
Faithfulness will spring up from the ground, and righteousness will look down from the sky.
The LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase.
Righteousness will go before him and will make a path for his steps. Alleluia.
Welcome Song It’s So Great that You’re Here Now (see insert)
Prayer
Welcoming God, you receive and bless all who come to you in humility.
Show us our false pride, that we may repent of all conceit and arrogance and, caring for one another, may honour Jesus Christ to the glory of your name. Amen.
