Psalm 68:32-35
Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth, sing praise to the Lord, to him who rides the ancient skies above, who thunders with mighty voice. Proclaim the power of God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose power is in the skies. You are awesome, O God, in your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God!
Prayer: For our WORSHIP services, that every time we gather to praise you, we are filled with peace and power from above, confidence in the resurrection of all believers, and a filling of your Holy Spirit, let us pray to the Lord.
ALL: Lord, we lift up our hands in worship, welcoming you into our hearts as we worship you in spirit and in truth. We magnify your name and we welcome others to join us in praise and thanksgiving. AMEN.
How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.
Prayer: For our FELLOWSHIP, that we may always live and walk in peace and unity as brothers and sisters in Christ, for we are the Church, the body of Christ, and for joy in our fellowship, let us pray to the Lord.
ALL: Lord, join our hands in fellowship as we celebrate our membership in Your family here at St. Paul. We also open wide our hands to welcome new members into our fellowship as they join us in the mission and ministry you have entrusted to us. We commit ourselves to walking and working together in the fellowship of Christian unity. AMEN.
O LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief. Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD, for I hide myself in you. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground. For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble. In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.
Prayer: For our TEACHING, that daily we grow in our walk of faith, that our education and learning opportunities move beyond simple head knowledge to our hearts and our hands, and we live out that which we know and believe, let us pray to the Lord.
ALL: Lord, strengthen our hands and equip them for discipleship through the teaching of Your Word. We commit to following where your Hand leads us and we commit to use our hands to help teach, lead and disciple one another. AMEN.
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
Prayer: For our SERVICE, that our hands, feet, and mouths would be instruments of your love, helping us to reflect the light of our Risen Savior. Let us pray to the Lord.
ALL: Lord, we commit to working, walking, and serving hand in hand to meets the needs of our brothers and sisters in Christ and to reach out in loving service to those in our community. AMEN
Psalm 96:1-4
Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Sing to the LORD, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.
ALL: For our call to PROCLAIM, that everyone of us hear your call to be witnesses for you, Lord. Give us opportunities to witness and invite and the courage to use those opportunities to share your love with those who don’t yet know you as Savior. May we see that everything we do as a church family and as individual disciples for you is a part of the Great Commission to go and make disciples and the great commandment to love You and to love our neighbor. To you alone be the glory. AMEN
