PRELUDE

WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

MEDITATION

Maybe [Psalm 23] is working like a reset button for your life as you read. Maybe it’s time to click refresh on the home screen of your life and start over. Maybe it’s time to come home. Maybe it’s time to look up and see how far you’ve wandered but, as you do, to see the shepherd who is waiting to walk with you again. Maybe it’s time to speak to someone. 

– David Gibson, “The LORD of Psalm 23”

CALL TO WORSHIP – From Psalm 57:1-5

Reader: Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in you my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, till the storms of destruction pass by. I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me. 

Congregation: He will send from heaven and save me; he will put to shame him who tramples on me. God will send out his steadfast love and his faithfulness!

My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down amid fiery beasts— the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth!

CONGREGATIONAL SINGING – Be Exalted, O God
