Call to Worship
Opening Prayer
*Opening Hymn Sing with All the Saints in Glory UMH 702
*Responsive Reading Psalm 1
Leader: Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
All: But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on His law day and night.
Leader: That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither — whatever they do prospers.
All: Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
Leader: Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
All: For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction. Amen.
