Prelude

Announcements and Welcome

Call to Worship

(Ps. 107:1-9) Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!  ² Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble  ³ and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.  ⁴ Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in;  ⁵ hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them.  ⁶ Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.  ⁷ He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in.  ⁸ Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!  ⁹ For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.

(Ps. 107:32-37) ³² Let them extol him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.  ³³ He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground,  ³⁴ a fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the evil of its inhabitants.  ³⁵ He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water.  ³⁶ And there he lets the hungry dwell, and they establish a city to live in;  ³⁷ they sow fields and plant vineyards and get a fruitful yield.
