- Announcements

-Prelude: O Say, But I’m Glad

-Call to Worship (From Psalm 1)
Happy is the person who doesn’t listen to the wicked or follow others down the wrong path.

The Lord quenches our souls and guides our lives with his Word
Let us worship God.

 Jesus Welcomes All
- We Welcome All !!!

We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, widowed, confused, filthy rich, comfortable or dirt poor.  We extend a special welcome to wailing babies and energetic toddlers.  We welcome you whether you can sing like a songbird or just growl quietly to yourself.  You're welcome here if you're just browsing, just woken up or just got out of prison. We don't care if you're more Christian than the Pope or haven't been to church since Christmas ten years ago.  We extend a special welcome to those who are over 60 but not grown up yet and to the teenagers who are growing up too fast. We welcome soccer moms, football dads, starving artists, tree huggers, coffee-sipping hipsters, vegetarians and junk-food eaters.  We welcome those who are in recovery or still addicted.  We welcome you if you're having problems, are down in the dumps or don't like organized religion.  We offer a welcome to those who think the Earth is flat, work too hard, don't have a job, can't spell or are here because Grandma is visiting and wanted to go to church.  We welcome those who are inked, pierced, both or neither.  We offer a special welcome to those who need some prayer right now, had religion shoved down their throat as kids or just drove by and saw the sign and decided to stop by. We welcome newcomers, old-timers, seekers, doubters ......  and  YOU !
