CALL TO WORSHIP [from GREATER ATTENTION: LERW, YEAR D]                                

Let the heavens praise your wonders, O LORD,

your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones!

            For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD?

            Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD?

The LORD is a God feared in the council of the holy ones,

great and awesome above all that are around him!

            O LORD God of hosts, who is as mighty as you?

            Your faithfulness, O LORD, surrounds you!

Happy are the people who know the festal shout,

who walk, O LORD, in the light of your countenance!

            Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and Amen.

OPENING PRAYER [from GREATER ATTENTION: LERW, YEAR D]

You, O God, are the builder of the all things, and Christ Jesus, your Son, the faithful builder of your house, even as he serves as its head and cornerstone. Help us, O Lord, as partners with Christ, to be the house in which you dwell, that we may hold firm to faith and hope until the end, with boldness and unwavering confidence in you. Show your holiness, O God, to this assembly, among this people where your glory abides, in Jesus' name.
