Words of Welcome

Call to Worship (based on Psalm 29) (stand)
The voice of God is over the waters;
Over the mighty waters, God speaks with creative power.
The voice of God breaks the cedars;
Over the cedars, fire, wilderness, and forest, God speaks with authority.
Enthroned forever, may God bless the people with strength and peace!
Bless us with strength and peace.
Let us say, ‘Glory!’
Glory, glory, glory, God!
Come, let us worship.
