Prelude

Welcome And Announcements

Passing the Peace

Call to Worship - based on Psalm 19:1-4, NRSV

The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard; yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. The glory of God echoes throughout the world. Let us praise the name of the Lord.

*Praise Music - “Give You Glory” & “We Bow Down”

February Benevolence: World Vision When our work began in 1950, our approach was basic. We provided food and shelter for children in orphanages through child sponsorship. Over the years we've learned the complexity of finding long-term, meaningful solutions to poverty. We work in the most difficult contexts, in some of the poorest countries. But we believe in children. And when we partner with children and families, we can help them transform their communities. http://www.worldvision.org/
