05. CALL TO WORSHIP (based on Isaiah 40 ) * Have you not known, have you not heard, that firm remains on high, the everlasting throne of God who rules both earth and sky? Are you afraid God’s power shall fail when comes that fateful day? How can an all-creating arm grow weary and decay? Mere human power shall fast decay and youthful vigour cease, but they who wait upon the LORD in strength shall still increase. On eagles’ wings they mount, they soar, Their wings are faith and love, They’ll rise above the shadows here To meet the God they love. Let us worship God.
06. INTROIT (Tune # 123) * O God, of matchless glory, of all surpassing worth, You fill the world with wonder, You bring our souls to birth. To whom shall we sing praises? To whom, O God, but You? Receive our adoration for we belong to You!

Help us always to be a remembering people, recalling daily all of Your goodness in our lives. Amen. 10. SILENT CONFESSION and ASSURANCE OF PARDON
