Scriptural Call to Worship: Psalm 118

Pastor: Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;

Congregation: His love endures forever.

Pastor: Let those who fear the Lord say:

Congregation: His love endures forever.

Pastor: When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; He brought me into a spacious place. The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? The Lord is with me; He is my helper. The Lord is my strength and my defense; He has become my salvation.

Congregation: Open for me the gates of the righteous; I will enter and give thanks to the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord through which the righteous may enter. I will give You thanks, for You answered me; You have become my salvation.

Pastor: The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes. The Lord has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad.

All Together: Lord, save us! Lord, grant us success! Blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord. From the house of the Lord we bless You. The Lord is God, and He has made His light shine on us. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.
