God Gathers Us
Call to Worship - Psalm 99:1-5
To be read aloud by someone in your home
The Lord reigns,
let the nations tremble;
he sits enthroned between the cherubim,
let the earth shake.
Great is the Lord in Zion;
he is exalted over all the nations.
Let them praise your great and awesome name—
he is holy.
The King is mighty, he loves justice—
you have established equity;
in Jacob you have done
what is just and right.
Exalt the Lord our God
and worship at his footstool;
he is holy.
Opening Prayer
Take a few moments to consider why it is good that God is a God of perfect goodness (holiness) and of justice. How does knowing this give us hope? How does it give us strength?
Now take a moment to pray, thanking God for who He is and the hope we have in Him.

God Gathers Us
Call to Worship - Psalm 25:1-7
To be read aloud by someone in your home
In you, Lord my God,
I put my trust.
I trust in you;
do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
No one who hopes in you
will ever be put to shame,
but shame will come on those
who are treacherous without cause.
Show me your ways, Lord,
teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you, Lord, are good.
Opening Prayer
Take a few moments of quiet, and ask the Lord to search your heart and show you if there is anything you need to confess to Him now, or any wrong against another that you need to make right.
Now take a moment to pray, thanking God for His mercy and forgiveness, and asking Him to help you to be strengthened today to live rightly with Him and with others.

Sermon: Our Greatest Need
Sunday May 31, 2020
God Gathers Us
Call to Worship - Psalm 4:3-8
To be read aloud by someone in your home
Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.
Tremble and do not sin;
when you are on your beds,
search your hearts and be silent.
Offer the sacrifices of the righteous
and trust in the Lord.
Many, Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?”
Let the light of your face shine on us.
Fill my heart with joy
when their grain and new wine abound.
In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, Lord,
make me dwell in safety.
Opening Prayer
Take a few moments of silence, remembering the power of God and His presence with you, right now.
Now take a moment to pray, thanking God for His presence and asking Him to show Himself to you in new ways, as you worship today.

Congregational Prayer
These are difficult days in our country. Take a few minutes to ask for God to lead us in repentance for the wrongs we have done, for God’s mercy on our country, and for renewal and restoration for our land.
Close by praying the Lord’s Prayer together:
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name,
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever, Amen.
