PRELUDE
WELCOME and ANNOUNCEMENTS
OPENING HYMN #277 Holy, Holy, Holy
Holy, holy, holy! God the Almighty! Early in the morning we praise your majesty. Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty! God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
Holy, holy, holy! Saints adore you truly, casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; Cherubim and seraphim bow before you only, from the beginning, God eternally.
Holy, holy, holy! Though we know but dimly, though the eyes of human kind your glory may not see, You alone are holy, you alone are worthy, perfect in power, in love and purity.
Holy, holy, holy! God the Almighty! All your works shall praise your name in earth and sky and sea. Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty! God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
CALL TO WORSHIP (Psalm 29)
Leader: Bravo, God, bravo! Gods and all angels shout, “Encore!”
People: In awe before the glory, in awe before God’s visible power.
Leader: Stand at attention! Dress your best to honor him!
People: God thunders across the waters, brilliant, his voice and his face, streaming brightness
Leader: God, across the flood waters. God’s thunder tympanic, God’s thunder symphonic.
People: God’s thunder smashes cedars, God topples the northern cedars.
Leader: The mountain ranges skip like spring colts, the high ridges jump like wild kid goats.
People: God’s thunder spits fire. God roars, the wilderness quakes;
Leader: He makes the desert of Kadesh shake. God’s thunder sets the oak trees dancing
People: A wild dance, whirling; the pelting rain strips their branches.
Leader: We fall to our knees—we call out, “Glory!”
People: Above the floodwaters is God’s throne
Leader: from which his power flows, from which he rules the world.
People: God makes his people strong. God gives his people peace.
