CALL
TO WORSHIP Psalm
72: 1-7
Give the king your justice,
O God,
and your
righteousness to a king's son.
May he judge your people
with righteousness,
and your poor
with justice.
May the mountains yield
prosperity for the people,
and the
hills, in righteousness.
May he defend the cause of
the poor of the people,
give
deliverance to the needy, and crush the oppressor.
May he live while the sun
endures, and as long as the moon,
throughout
all generations.
May he be like rain that
falls on the mown grass,
like showers
that water the earth.
In his days may
righteousness flourish and peace abound,
until the
moon is no more.

LIFE OF THE CHURCH
*OFFERING: #115
Worship the Lord
in the beauty of holiness!
Bow down before
Him, His glory proclaim;
With gold of
obedience and incense of lowliness,
Kneel and adore
Him: the Lord is His name.
OFFERTORY: “The
HEBREW BIBLE: Isaiah 11: 1-10 Pg. 595
RESPONSIVE CALL TO PRAYER:
All creation including all God’s people, including all
religions are waiting on tiptoe to see the dawning of Peace on earth.
We wait for a
shoot to come from Jesse’s stump.
How can a shoot come from a stump?
How can
righteousness and peace be born on
earth?
Can the laws of nature be suspended, with lion and lamb lying
down together?
Will children
ever be safe playing with
venomous snakes?
Jesus called
us to a higher way.
UNISON: Lord, help us to
walk in the light of your love. Amen.
