Invocation
*Opening Hymn My Soul Gives Glory to My God UMH 198
*Responsive Reading Psalm 15
Leader: Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?
All: The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart;
Leader: Whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others;
All: Who despises a vile person but honors those who fear the Lord; who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind;
Leader: Who lends money to the poor without interest; who does not accept a bribe against the innocent. Whoever does these things will never be shaken.
All: Amen.
