Opening Litany for the 8th

Psalm 66:1-9 (New International Version)

Pastor: Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of God’s name and bring glorious praise!

Congregation: We will say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that those who work against you work in the dark and cringe at the thought of you.

Pastor: All the earth bows down and sings praises to your glorious name. Come and see what God has done and how awesome the works of God for humanity!

Congregation: The sea has been turned into dry land and the children of God passed through the waters on foot and lived. Come let us rejoice in God’s love.

Pastor: God rules forever and watches over the nations in all they do. Let not the self-righteous or rebellious rise up against God’s love for all humanity.

Congregation: We will praise our God in all that we think, say and do, and will let the sound of praise be heard throughout the land.

Pastor: Welcome to Worship at Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church.

Congregation: Where we are Inspired by God’s Love to Praise, Nurture and Serve. And where we live out this mission when we as individuals and as the collective Body of Christ as we Praise God in Worship, Song and Prayer.
