God Gathers Us

Call to Worship - Psalm 95:1-7

To be read aloud by someone in your home

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
    let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
    and extol him with music and song.

For the Lord is the great God,
    the great King above all gods.
In his hand are the depths of the earth,
    and the mountain peaks belong to him.
The sea is his, for he made it,
    and his hands formed the dry land.

Come, let us bow down in worship,
    let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
for he is our God
    and we are the people of his pasture,
    the flock under his care.

Opening Prayer

  • Take a moment to think about/share together how God is described in these verses. What images are used to describe God? What aspects of God’s character are celebrated?

  • Now take a moment to pray, thanking God for who He is.

  • 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:

Congregational Prayer

  • Take some time to pray giving thanks for your mother, praying for your mother and other mothers in the church that they would be strengthened and blessed, and for those who for whom this is a difficult day, that they would be comforted and encouraged in the love of Christ.
