“It Is Finished”
Psalm 22
Offering (We give our gifts to God) Give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.’—Proverbs 30: 8-9
Prelude (the gift of music helps us to prepare our hearts for worship) *Doxology ‘Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Lighting of the candles (the flame represents the presence of the Holy Spirit)
praise Him, all creatures here below; praise him above ye heavenly host;
Call to Worship (from Psalm 22)
praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.”
Leader: The poor will eat and be satisfied; they who seek the Lord will praise him—may your hearts live forever! Congregation: All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord...
