ORGAN PRELUDE

WELCOME and CALL to WORSHIP

(Verses from Psalm 16)

Protect me, O God; I trust in you for safety.

I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; all the

good things I have come from you.”

I am always aware of the LORD’s presence;

he is near, and nothing can shake me.

And so I am thankful and glad,

and I feel completely secure,

for you protect me from the power of death.

I have served you faithfully, and you will not

abandon me to the world of the dead.

You will show me the path that leads to life;

your presence fills me with joy

and brings me pleasure for ever.
