*CALL TO WORSHIP     &nb= sp;            =       Psalm 147: 1-7

Praise the LORD! How g= ood it is to sing praises to our God;

            for the Lord is gracious, and a song of praise is

            fitting.

The LORD builds up Jerusalem; <= /o:p>

            gathering the outcasts of Isra= el.

God heals the brokenhe= arted,

            and binds up their wounds.

God determines the num= ber of the stars;

            giving to all of them their names.

Great is our Lord, and abundant in power;

            God’s understanding is beyond measure.

The LORD lifts up the downtrodden;

            casting the wicked to the ground.

Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving;

            make melody to our God on the lyre.

UNISON PRAYER OF CONF= ESSION:

          God who si= ts on high, above the circle of the earth, we long to lift our eyes high enoug= h to see and be certain that You work, but we can’t.   Since we haven’t seen = all Your ways, we have been guilty of complaining that the converse must also be true… You must not see our way either… and if You have, then you must not care. We should know better. We have certainly hea= rd others speak better of You. <= o:p>

          God who ne= ver faints, forgive our fatigue and weariness.= Reassure us that You, who have brought all things into being, still = know each of us by name. Help us t= o wait then for your power, which will renew our strength. Amen.
