CALLTOWORSHIP(from Psalm 118) Luke Woodcoc

One: O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;His steadfast love endures for ever!

Many: Let those who fear the Lord say,His steadfast love endures for ever.

One: With the Lord on my side I do not fear.What can mortals do to me?

Many: It is better to take refuge in the LordThan to put confidence in mortals.

One: Open to me the gates of righteousness,That I may enter through themAnd give thanks to the Lord.

Many: This is the gate of the Lord;The righteous shall enter through it.

One: This is the day that the Lord has made;All: Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

APOSTLES CREED(INUNISON)

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,

And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, andburied; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; heascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints;the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

We could copethe world could copewith a Jesus who ultimately remains a wonderfuidea inside his disciples' minds and hearts. The world cannot cope with a Jesus who comout of the tomb, who inaugurates God's new creation right in the middle of the old one.

- N. T. Wright

What God says is best, indeed is best, though all men in the world are against it. Seeing,then, that God prefers his religion; seeing God prefers a tender conscience; seeing they thmake themselves fools for the kingdom of heaven are wisest; and that the poor man thatloveth Christ is richer than the greatest man in the world that hates him: Shame, depart,thou art an enemy to my salvation.

-John Bunyan

For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love aof self-discipline.

- 2 Timothy 1:7

Vision Statement

As one body of Christ, composed of diverse individuals bound together by the Holy Spiwe will worship God in a way that not only proclaims Gods glory and identifies His presence in our lives, but also calls us to repent of our sins and kindles due thanks and awe foour creator, sustainer, and redeemer.
