CALL TO WORSHIP 

LITURGY: Preparatory to the Holy Communion (insert) 

SCRIPTURE: Habakkuk 1: 1-4; 2: 1-4 

SCRIPTURE Psalm 37: 1-9 

Do not fret because of those who are evil 

 or be envious of those who do wrong; 

for like the grass they will soon wither, 

 like green plants they will soon die away. 

Trust in the Lord and do good; 

 dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. 

Take delight in the Lord, 

 and he will give you the desires of your heart. 

Commit your way to the Lord; 

 trust in him and he will do this: 

He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, 

 your vindication like the noonday sun. 

Be still before the Lord 

 and wait patiently for him; 

do not fret when people succeed in their ways, 

 when they carry out their wicked schemes. 

Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; 

 do not fret—it leads only to evil. 

For those who are evil will be destroyed, 

 but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land. 

SCRIPTURE: 2 Timothy 6: 6-19

COMMUNION MEDITATION 

HYMN: Here, O Dear Lord, We See You Face to Face..........................T. Langran 

Here, O dear Lord, we see you face to face!  

Here would we touch and handle things unseen, 

Here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace, 

And all our weariness upon you lean. 

Here would we feed upon the bread of God, 

Here drink with you the royal wine of heav’n, 

Here would we lay aside each earthly load, 

Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv’n. 

This is the hour of banquet and of song, 

Here is the heavn’ly table spread anew; 

Here let us feast, and, feasting, still prolong 

This brief bright hour of fellowship with you. 

Here do we worship you with one accord, 

Here do we know ourselves within you one; 

Here we have come to know you as our Lord, 

You here have called us, and we here respond. 

Here are your people all throughout the earth, 

Varied in life, in love we are the same. 

All are God’s family through our Savior’s birth, 

Bringing our difference, gathered in one name.
