Opening Song Welcome

Call to Worship Psalm 119:89-96

Forever, O LORD, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens.

Your faithfulness endures to all generations;

you have established the earth, and it stands fast.

By your appointment they stand this day, for all things are your servants.

If your law had not been my delight,

I would have perished in my affliction.

I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have given me life.

I am yours; save me, for I have sought your precepts.

The wicked lie in wait to destroy me,

but I consider your testimonies.

I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your commandment is exceedingly broad.

Praise Intercession

Offering Steve Gerdes
