GREETING INTROIT
Thanks Be To God — Mary Hannah Brahe Thanks be to God for roses rare, for skies of blue and sunshine fare; for every gift, I raise a prayer. Thanks be to God. Thanks be to God for lovely night, for mystic fields, for stars bedight; for hours of dream and deep delight, thanks be to God. Thanks be to God for love divine, the hopes that ‘round my heart entwine; for all the joy that now is mine, thanks be to God.

CALL TO WORSHIP Eternal Father, whose Son Jesus Christ ascended to the throne of heaven that he might rule over all things as Lord and King: Keep the Church in the unity of the Spirit and in the bond of peace and bring the whole of created order to worship at his feet. In the name of the One who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
WE HEAR THE WORD PROCLAIMED CANTICLE Hymn of Praise — René Clausen Alleluia, alleluia! Praise God in His holy temple; in the firmament of His power. Alleluia, alleluia! Praise God in His mighty majesty, and with pure and humble heart. Praise Him with the sound of the ram’s horn, praise Him with lyre and harp, lute and melody. Praise Him with timbrel and dance. Praise Him with harp, strings, and violin, lute, and trumpet, all to His name. Let everything that has life and breath sing praises unto the Lord! With cymbal and pipe, with shining stars! We sing hosanna, hosanna. For Thou hast been our dwelling place from one generation to another before the mountains were brought forth, or e’er the earth was formed, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God. Amen. (Psalm 90 and Psalm 150) SCRIPTURE — Colossians 1:11-20 (pew Bible New Testament page 244) This is the word of God for the people of God. Thanks be to God.
