March 27, 2011 The Shepherd’s Psalm
Welcome to the Kulp United Methodist Church! We are glad to have you worshipping with us this morning. If you are visiting with us, please fill out the visitor card and place it in the offering. We want to know who is worshipping with us, and who you are! Welcome and announcements
Offering (We give our gifts to God) I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.—Philippians 4:11-13 NIV *Doxology
Prelude (the gift of music helps us to prepare our hearts for worship)
‘Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise Him, all creatures here below;
Lighting of the candles (the flame represents the presence of the Holy Spirit)
praise him above ye heavenly host; praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.”
Call to Worship (from Psalm 23) Leader: The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. Congregation: Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
