PRAISE Call to Worship from Psalm 63:1-8 [PLEASE STAND] Mr Benjamin BC Tan Leader O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for

you, as in a dry and weary land where no water is. People So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and

glory. Leader Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. People So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call on your

name. Leader My soul is feasted as with marrow and fat, and my mouth praises you with

joyful lips, People when I think of you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches

of the night; Leader for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy. ALL My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. Amen.

Songs of Praise Mr Edward Heng

TIME OF SIMULTANEOUS CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER Shout for joy to the LORD…give thanks to Him and praise His name. (Psalm 100:1, 4)

Usually the congregation is given a specific time period, with a common theme of petition or supplication. Then all pray aloud at the same time in the power of the Spirit. (United Methodist Book of Worship 1992, pg 446)

PRAYER SILENT & INTERCESSORY PRAYER But the LORD is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him. (Habakkuk 2:20)

TIME FOR WATCHING THE LORD I will stand at my watch; I will look to see what he will say to me. (Habakkuk 2:1)

What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church. (1 Corinthians 14:26)
