Join in Worship
The
Call to Worship
Responsive Reading: Psalm 63:1-5
NRSV
|
Leader:
O God, you are my God, I seek you,
my
soul thirsts for you;
People:
my flesh faints for you,
as
in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
Leader:
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding
your power and glory.
People:
Because your steadfast love is better than
life,
my
lips will praise you.
Leader:
So I will bless you as long as I live;
I
will lift up my hands and call on your name.
All:
My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast,
and
my mouth praises you with joyful lips.

We Have
Come To Join In Worship
George Atkins /
Ken Bible / William Moore
We
have come to join in worship and adore the Lord our God.
Let
us come in prayer, expecting God to speak His mighty Word.
All
is vain unless the Spirit of the Holy One comes down.
Christians
pray and holy manna will be showered all around.
See
them gather all around you, those He bought at such a cost.
See
the weary! See the hurting! See the lonely! See the lost!
Be
His hands, and touch the needy! Be His gospel! Let it sound!
Be
His body, and sweet manna will be showered all around.
Let
us love our God supremely. Let us love each other too.
Let
us care for all His people till our God makes all things new.
Christ
will call us home to heaven; at His banquet we'll sit down.
Christ
Himself will rise and serve us living manna all around.

10:38-42 tNIV

38
As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village
where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister
called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said.
40
But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made.
She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister
has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”
41
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset
about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.
Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from
her.”

The
Table
Invitation: The Feast Is Ready
Graham Kendrick
The
trumpets sound the angels sing,
The
feast is ready to begin.
The
gates of heav'n are open wide,
And
Jesus welcomes you inside.
Sing
with thankfulness songs of pure delight.
Come
and revel in heaven's love and light.
Take
your place at the table of the King.
The
feast is ready to begin. The feast is ready to begin.
Tables
are laden with good things,
O
taste the peace the joy He brings.
He'll
fill you up with love divine,
He'll
turn your water into wine.
The
hungry heart He satisfies,
Offers
the poor His paradise.
Now
hear all heav'n and earth applaud
The
amazing goodness of the Lord.

Don Harris /
Martin J. Nystrom
Times
of refreshing here in Your presence,
No
greater blessing than being with You;
My

There's
no greater joy, Lord, than being with You.

The
Benediction
From The Sun's Rising
Graham Kendrick
From
the sun's rising unto the sun's setting
Jesus
our Lord shall be great in the earth.
And
all earth's kingdoms shall be His dominion,
All
of creation shall sing of His worth.
Let
every heart, every voice, every tongue
Join
with spirits ablaze;
One
in His love we will circle the world
With
the song of His praise.
Oh
let all His people rejoice,
And
let all the earth hear His voice.
To
every tongue tribe and nation He sends us
To
make disciples, to teach and baptize,
For
all authority to Him is given;
Now
as His witnesses we shall arise.
Come
let us join with the church from all nations,
Cross
every border, throw wide every door:
Workers
with Him as He gathers His harvest,
Till
earth's far corners Our Savior adore.
