11am Traditional Worship – Oct. 15, 2023


Prelude

Welcome & Announcements

Call to Worship (Greeting)  

Leader: Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord.

People: I will sing to the Lord, who has triumphed gloriously; the horse and its rider the Lord has thrown into the sea.

Leader: The Lord is my strength and my song, and has become my salvation;

People: This is my God whom I will praise.


Opening Prayer— (Unison) God of your goodness give me yourself; for you are sufficient for me.  I cannot properly ask for anything less, to be worthy of you.  If I were to ask less, I should always be in want.  In you alone do I have all. Amen
