Call to Worship: Psalm 9:1-2

*God’s Blessing

*Mutual Greetings

*Opening Hymn: “Praise My Soul the King of Heaven” - LYRIC VIDEO

Praise my soul the King of heaven, To His feet thy tribute bring

Ransomed healed restored forgiven, Who like me His praise should sing

Praise Him Praise Him, Praise Him Praise Him

Praise the everlasting King

Praise Him for His grace and favour, To our fathers in distress

Praise Him still the same forever, Slow to chide and swift to bless

Praise Him Praise Him, Praise Him Praise Him

Glorious in His faithfulness

Father-like He tends and spares us, Well our feeble frame He knows

In His hands He gently bears us, Rescues us from all our foes

Praise Him Praise Him, Praise Him Praise Him

Widely as His mercy flows

Angels help us to adore Him, Ye behold Him face to face

Sun and moon bow down before Him, Dwellers all in time and space

Praise Him Praise Him, Praise Him Praise Him

Praise with us the God of grace

Opening Response: Psalm 25:1-9

To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul; in you I trust, O my God.

Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.

No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.

Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.

Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD.

Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.

He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.

*Song of Response: “I Will Call Upon the Lord”

I will call upon the Lord -----

who is worthy to be praised; -----

So shall I be saved from my enemies. ------

I will call upon the Lord.

(repeat)

The Lord liveth and blessed be the Rock,

And let the God of my salvation be exalted.

The Lord liveth and blessed be the Rock,

And let the God of my salvation be exalted.

(repeat)

Thrive Faith Formation Tip - The faith practice of remembering provides a way to center our
attention on what God has done in our lives as a reminder that God is with us here and now. As
the month of January draws to a close, share your favorite memory from the past month or past
year with your family members or friends, recognizing God’s care and love for you in that

moment. For more info on the faith practice of remembering, see
