Order of Worship

Prelude

LITANY OF PRAISE:

(I would recommend short choruses or only using only one or two verses of a song for hymns in this litany.)

P: Praise the Lord all you people! Praise the Lord with singing, for the Lord is great and wonderful. Vast beyond our understanding, still God reaches out to us all, calling us to receive God's love. Come worship God, today!

Hymn:

A: Praise the Lord all you people! Praise the Lord with singing, for the Lord is great and wonderful. Before all time God loved us. Before all creation God knew us making us who we are, giving us the gift of ourselves: our bodies, our minds, our spirits, that we may be a blessing to God and to all those around us. Come worship God, today!

Hymn:

P: Praise the Lord all you people! Praise the Lord with singing, for the Lord is great and wonderful. Rejoice and be glad, for the Lord remembers us all. God has seen our weaknesses and set us free to be people of God, so dance before the Lord. Take the gift of life that God gives you and shout the good news to all: God has rescued the world from death. Come worship God, today!
