WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS

PRELUDE–Prepare your heart and mind for worship

THE CALL TOWORSHIP–Psalm 62:5-12For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from Him. He only is myrock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. On God rests my salvationand my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God. Trust in Him at all times, Opeople; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Those of low estateare but a breath; those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; theyare together lighter than a breath. Put no trust in extortion; set no vain hopes onrobbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them. Once God has spoken; twicehave I heard this: that power belongs to God,and that to You, O Lord, belongssteadfast love. For You will render to a man according to his work.
