God Gathers Us

Call to Worship - Romans 11:33-36

To be read aloud by someone in your home:

33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
    How unsearchable his judgments,
    and his paths beyond tracing out!
34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord?
    Or who has been his counselor?”
35 “Who has ever given to God,
    that God should repay them?”
36 For from him and through him and for him are all things.
    To him be the glory forever! Amen.

Opening Prayer

  • The call to worship this morning comes from a part of the book of Romans where the apostle Paul, after working through the purposes of God’s work in and through Israel and her history, reaches the limits of his understanding. He comes to a point where there is no more to say and only worship is left.

  • Read through the passage a couple times, slowly. And then, let this passage lead you to prayer. Pray, praising God for who He is in His magnificent glory, and ask that God would reveal more of that glory to us - even in our services this weekend.

Congregational Singing

  • We encourage you to sing - make a joyful noise! If you play an instrument, play! If you have some favorite hymns or choruses, pick one or two and sing! Or make use of other technology to play some music, and listen and sing along.

  • Below are some hymns you can make use of if these would be a help to you.

Offering

For everyone watching services online, we can still receive your offerings a couple of ways:

  • You can drop your offering in the locked mailbox outside the church office entrance

  • Or, you can mail them to the church at 393 Water Street, Augusta ME 04330.
