The power of God
Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old, things that we have heard and known, that our ancestors have told us.
We will not hide them from their children; we will tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord and his might and the wonders that he has done.
He established a decree in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach to their children,that the next generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and rise up and tell them to their children,so that they should set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments.
Hymn: 1 selection from the congregation
Closing Hymn:……Greg’s Choice……………………………
Dismissal with Blessings:……………………………….Melrose D.
As you go from this time and gathering,
Rest in the covenant,
Choose love every day,
Sustain hope in action,
Serve the Holy One with love and honor,
And be a witness for the goodness of God in the land of the living. Amen.
