Responsive Reading from Psalm 67
Leader: May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, that your way may be known upon the earth,  your saving power among all nations.
People: Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you.
Leader: Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for your judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon the earth.
People: Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you.
Leader: The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, has blessed us.
All: May God continue to bless us; let all the ends of the earth revere him.
​
Unison Invocation
Heavenly Father, you taught the stars to sing yet the heavens cannot contain your glory. Nor can our words and music adequately carry our joy, our wonder, and our gratitude. Yet we come to this place at this time trying to find the words and the tunes to express and renew our gratitude. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Chorus of Praise “He Has Made Me Glad” TFWS #2270
I will enter his gates 
with thanksgiving in my heart, 
I will enter his courts with praise.
I will say, “This is the day 
that the Lord has made.”
I will rejoice, for he has made me glad.

He has made me glad, 
he has made me glad.
I will rejoice, for he has made me glad.
He has made me glad, 
he has made me glad.
I will rejoice, for he has made me glad.

Hymn “All Who Hunger” TFWS #2126
All who hunger, gather gladly;
holy manna is our bread.
Come from wilderness 
and wandering.
Here, in truth, we will be fed.
You that yearn for days of fullness,
all around us is our food.
Taste and see the grace eternal.
Taste and see that God is good.

Offering & Doxology “Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow” UMH #95
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
praise him, all creatures here below;
praise him above, ye heavenly host;
praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Bread of heaven,

God be with you till we meet again;
by his counsels guide, uphold you,

till we meet at Jesus feet;
till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.
