INTROIT

*CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 23

The LORD is my shepherd,

I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures;

he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul.

He leads me in right paths

for his name's sake.

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me;

your rod and your staff-- they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,

and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD my whole life long.

*HYMN 52: “He Leadeth Me! O Blessed Thought”

INVOCATION followed by the Lord's Prayer (The version we use is printed on the laminated card in the pew)
