Call To Worship: Psalm 100
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.
Classic Prayer: Clement, Bishop of Rome
You, Lord, brought into being the everlasting fabric of the universe; You wove the tapestry of life. From one generation to another You are constant and righteous in Your laws, wise and prudent in Your actions. To look round is to see Your goodness; to trust You is to know Your generosity; to confess to You is to receive Your forgiveness. Make us clean with the strong soap of Your truth. Make us whole with the powerful medicine of Your grace. Show us the light of Your smile. Protect us with Your mighty arm. Save us from all wrong-doing by Your outstretched arm…To You, who alone can grant to us those and all good things, we offer up our praise through Jesus Christ, the high priest and guardian of our souls.

People: For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Leader: Why did God give us his Son?
People: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
