Scripture Psalm 19

*Call to Worship

One: The heavens declare the glory of God!

All: The skies proclaim God’s handiwork.

One: The day pronounces God’s glory without a sound, the night expounds God’s knowledge without a word, and yet their voice goes out through all the earth.

All: Let us join our voices with the voice of creation in declaring God’s glory!
