Hymn #558 “We Are The Church” (v. 1, 2)

This is the Day
This is the day this is the day
That the Lord has made that the Lord has made
We will rejoice we will rejoice
And be glad in it and be glad in it
This is the day that the Lord has made
We will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day this is the day
That the Lord has made

We are the Church
Refrain
I am the church
You are the church
We are the church together
All who follow Jesus
All around the world
Yes we’re the church together

1. The church is not a building
The church is not a steeple
The church is not a resting place
The church is a people

Refrain

2. We are many kinds of people
With many kinds of faces
All colors and all ages too
From all times and places

Joys and Concerns, Pastoral Prayer, Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and glory forever. Amen.

Scripture Reading — Psalm 146 (NRSV)

1   Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD, O my soul!
2 I will praise the LORD as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God all my life long.

3   Do not put your trust in princes,
in mortals, in whom there is no help.
4 When their breath departs, they return to the earth;
on that very day their plans perish.

5   Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the LORD their God,
6 who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them;
who keeps faith forever;
7 who executes justice for the oppressed;
who gives food to the hungry.

The LORD sets the prisoners free;
8 the LORD opens the eyes of the blind.
The LORD lifts up those who are bowed down;
the LORD loves the righteous.
9 The LORD watches over the strangers;
he upholds the orphan and the widow,
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.

10 The LORD will reign forever,
your God, O Zion, for all generations.
Praise the LORD!

Response
The Word of the Lord:
Thanks be to God.
