Holy, Holy, Holy

Chris Thomas, director

Acolyte: Oscar Yoost

As the Light of Christ passes you, stand as you are able and then be seated when the Acolyte returns to the back of the sanctuary.

CALL TO WORSHIP

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

And also with you.

God shows no partiality. No race or group is shown special advantage.

In every nation anyone who respects him and who does what is right is acceptable to him.

You know the message God sent to all through the people of Israel.

It is a message of peace by Jesus Christ, who has been made Lord of all.
