Prelude — Spirit of God, Descend Upon My Heart, John Carter

Call to Worship (From Psalm 33)
The eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love.
We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, for we put our trust in you.
Let us praise the Lord our God as we worship together on this Lord’s Day.

Opening Prayer (Unison)
Great is our God and worthy of praise! God’s goodness knows no limit; God’s faithfulness toward us is boundless. God, your majesty and glory surround us here. We’ve come together to celebrate your presence, and to offer music of praise and worship. We’ve come to rejoice in your mighty acts, and to retell the story of your goodness throughout history and in our own lives. Move among us as we worship together; may your Spirit guide and inspire our thoughts and actions as we spend this time in your presence. In the name of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

Sermon: Bite Your Tongue

Let There Be Peace On Earth
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. Let there be peace on earth, the peace that was meant to be,
with God, our Creator, family all are we. Let us walk with each other, in perfect harmony. Let peace begin with me,
let this be the moment now. With every step I take, let this be my solemn vow. To take each moment and live each
moment in peace eternally. Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.

Benediction
