*Call to Worship
One: It
is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praise to God Most High;
o declare God’s steadfast love in the morning
and God’s faithfulness at nighttime.
All: Those who are planted in the house of the
Lord flourish;
no matter
their age, they bear fruit
and remain
lush and fresh, proclaiming:
The Lord is righteous! God is my
rock!

to the Lord’s Anointed” #203
