CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 82 Response:

Leader:
God is seated in the divine council; and in the midst of the gods holds judgment: “How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked?

Response:
Give justice to the weak and the orphan; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. I said, “You are gods, godlike offspring, all of you; nevertheless, you shall die like mortals, and fall like any prince.” Arise, O God, judge the earth, for to you belong all the nations! Deliverance belongs to the Lord. Arise, O Lord, deliver us.
PRAYER Dr. Sherry L. Daniels
CONGREGATIONAL SINGING “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah” By: William Williams/Peter Williams/John Hughes Verse 1 Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but Thou art mighty; Hold me with Thy pow’rful hand; Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more, Feed me till I want no more. Verse 2 Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing stream doth flow; Let the fire and cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through; Strong Deliv’rer, Strong Deliv’rer Be Thou still my strength and shield, Be Thou still my strength and shield.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ INVITATION TO CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRY THROUGH TITHES AND OFFERINGS By: Rev. Dr. Ken Sloane Director of Stewardship & Generosity, Discipleship Ministries, The United Methodist Church Holy God: Source of all good things, we ask that the gifts we offer to you this day would be dedicated to bringing your kin-dom of love, justice, and compassion into being in our midst. We acknowledge that when this service is over, it will be tempting to put our blinders back on, keep our focus on what’s right in front of us, and not see that which is all around us. Help us to see both the beauty of your caring and the ugliness of our indifference. We pray this in Christ’s name. Amen. (Amos 7:7-17)
Amen. (Verse 3 omitted.)
BLESSING AND SENDING FORTH Go in peace.
