We Gather Together to Worship Our God
Responsive Call to Worship: Psalm 96: Praise Him, All Creation
Leader: Sing a new song to the Lord. Sing to the Lord all the earth. Sing to the Lord, bless his name.
All: Proclaim his salvation day by day, Tell his glory among the nations,
Leader: Tell his marvels to every people. The Lord himself made the heavens, In his presence are splendour and majesty, In his sanctuary power and beauty.
All: Ascribe to the Lord, families of the people, Ascribe to the Lord beauty and power, Ascribe to the Lord the glory due to his name.
Leader: Bring an offering, bear it before him, Worship the Lord in the splendour of holiness, Tremble before him, all the earth!
All: Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad, Let the sea thunder and all that it holds, Let the fields exult and all that is in them, Let all the trees of the forest cry out for joy.
Leader: At the presence of the Lord, for he comes, He comes to rule the earth, To judge the world with justice And the nations with his truth.

Responsive Reading: God’s Amazing Grace (John 1: 16 – 17, 13: 1; Romans 5: 8; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Ephesians 2: 4 – 5; 1 John 4: 9- 10)
All: From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Leader: Having loved his own who were in the world, He now showed them the full extent of His love.
All: God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Leader: For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.
All: God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
Leader: In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
