Calls To Worship

Stewardship

Adapted from Psalm 48

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised

His holy mountain is the joy of all the earth.

We ponder your steadfast love, O God.

Walk among your people, that you may tell the next generation that this is God, our God forever and ever. God will be our guide forever. Help us to seek your guidance as we gather to worship you.

Adapted from Proverbs 3:13-18 (WEB)

Leader: Happy are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding.

People: For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.

Leader: She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.

People: Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.

Leader: Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.

People: She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her.

Happy is everyone who retains her.

Adapted from Acts 2:42-46

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.

All the believers were together and had everything in common.

They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.

Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.

They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.
