CALL TO WORSHIP
Welcome to Sojourn and Happy Mother’s Day! We have so much to be thankful for today as God has called us to come to him by His Word and through his Spirit. Hear this call to worship from Psalm 95:
Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.
Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
for he is our God
and we are the people of his pasture,
the flock under his care.
-Psalm 95:1-2,6-7
Song Praise To The Lord The Almighty
CHILD DEDICATION (Kristen)
Song: May Your Power Rest on Me written by Joel Gerdis and Neil Degraide.
ASSURANCE/GIVING
My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me.
But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”
-Lamentations 3:20-24
…as we have just read, the love that God our Father has for us never ends, and he has great faithfulness towards us, his children. As the giving baskets are passed around, let’s sing.
Song: God is Good written by Dustin Kensrue.
PASSING OF THE PEACE
What a glorious truth that the God who created heaven and earth is also our friend in the person of Jesus!! …and friends live in peace – a profound, depth of peace made possible by Jesus. Take as much time as need need to get to know the brothers and sisters around you a bit better and make it a point to give thanks for the moms and ladies!
