Adapted from Psalm 34:1-4, 8 (ESV)

Pastor: I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

All: My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the humble hear and be glad.

Pastor: Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together!

All: I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.

Pastor: Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good!

All: Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!

Adapted from Lamentations 3:22-23

Leader:            The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;

                        God’s mercies never come to an end. 

People:           They are new every morning;

                        Great is your faithfulness, O God.

Leader:            The Lord is good to those who wait for him,

                        To the souls that seek God. 

People:           It is good that we should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.

All:                  Let us worship God!

Only the hungry search for bread.

Only the thirsty look for water.

This is a place for those who are hungry and thirsty in spirit.

Only those who ache for meaning will pursue it.

Only those who yearn for a deeper life will seek it.

This is a place for those who ache and yearn for something more.

So let us come here today with our hunger and thirst,

our unsatisfied longings, our heart-felt yearnings,

and let the God of life satisfy our souls.
