Gathering Song: HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION

Welcome and Announcements

Call to Worship: (Isaiah 52:6-10)

One: Let us be called to worship by proclaiming to one another what God says in Isaiah 52: “Therefore my people will know my name; therefore, in that day they will know that it is I who foretold it. Yes, it is I.”

All: How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

One: Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices; together they shout for joy. When the Lord returns to Zion, they will see it with their own eyes.

All: Burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the Lord has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.

One: The Lord will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.”

All: Let us worship Him!
