PRAISE Call to Worship from Psalm 119:97-104 [PLEASE STAND] Mr Edward Ong Leader Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long. Your commands make me

wiser than my enemies, for they are ever with me. People I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes. Leader I have more understanding than the elders, for I obey your precepts. People I have kept my feet from every evil path so that I might obey your word. Leader I have not departed from your laws, for you yourself have taught me. ALL How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my

mouth! I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path. Amen.

Songs of Praise Mr Samuel Lay

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) Pastoral Prayer Mr Alan Tay
