We Sing the Mighty Power of God
- We sing the mighty power of God that made the mountains rise,
that spread the flowing seas abroad and built the lofty skies.
We sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day;
the moon shines full at his command, and all the stars obey.
- We sing the goodness of the Lord that filled the earth with food;
He formed the creatures with his word
and then pronounced them good.
Lord, how your wonders are displayed, where’er we turn our eyes,
if we survey the ground we tread or gaze upon the skies.
- There’s not a plant or flower below but makes your glories known,
and clouds arise and tempests blow by order from your throne;
While all that borrows life from you is ever in your care,
and everywhere that we can be, you, God, are present there.

Call To Worship
Scripture Reading: Nehemiah 12:44-47
Service at the Temple Restored
44 On that day men were appointed over the storerooms, the contributions, the firstfruits, and the tithes, to gather into them the portions required by the Law for the priests and for the Levites according to the fields of the towns, for Judah rejoiced over the priests and the Levites who ministered.
45 And they performed the service of their God and the service of purification, as did the singers and the gatekeepers, according to the command of David and his son Solomon.
46 For long ago in the days of David and Asaph there were directors of the singers, and there were songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave the daily portions for the singers and the gatekeepers; and they set apart that which was for the Levites; and the Levites set apart that which was for the sons of Aaron.
Prayer of Invocation
Declaring What We Believe:
The Apostle’s Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the virgin Mary;
Suffered under Pontius Pilate;
Was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell;
The third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
And sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From whence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost;
The holy universal church; The communion of saints;
The forgiveness of sins; The resurrection of the body;
And the life everlasting. Amen.
We Respond to God’s Presence
Red Hymnal #389 “Let All Things Now Living”
Creation Sings
Verse 1
Creation sings the Father’s song; He calls the sun to wake the dawn
And run the course of day, till evening comes in crimson rays.
His finger-prints in flakes of snow, His breath upon this spinning globe;
He charts the eagle’s flight, commands the newborn baby’s cry.
Chorus: Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing,
Hallelujah! Fill the earth with songs of worship;
Tell the wonders of creation’s King.
Verse 2
Creation gazed upon His face; the ageless One in time’s embrace,
Unveiled the Father’s plan of reconciling God and man.
A second Adam walked the earth,
Whose blameless life would break the curse;
Whose death would set us free to live with Him eternally. (Chorus)
Verse 3
Creation longs for His return, when Christ shall reign upon the earth
The bitter wars that rage are birth pains of a coming age.
When He renews the land and sky, all heaven will sing and earth reply
With one resplendent theme: The glory of our God and King! (Chorus)
