Welcome/ Opening Prayer

Hymn of Praise: UMH #577 – “God of Grace and God of Glory” (Verses 1,2,3,4)

Call to Worship:
Leader:  Always there is a choice.
PEOPLE:  The God of Christ Jesus or those material things for which this world will sell its soul?  We cannot have it both ways.
Leader:  As the prophet Elijah declared long ago: “How long does it take to make up your mind?”.  If the Lord is God, then follow him.  If idols are your gods, then get real and admit you serve them
PEOPLE: The Lord is our God and greatly to be praised.  He is honored above all worldly gods.  We will declare God’s glory among the nations and celebrate God’s love among all races on earth.

Contemporary Song: FWS #2022 – “Great Are You Lord”
