Adapted from Psalm 103:1-5 (ESV)

Pastor: Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!

All: Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,

Pastor: who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

All: who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Adapted from Romans 12:1-2 (WEB)

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, 

to present your bodies a living sacrifice, 

holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.  

Don’t be conformed to this world, 

but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, 

so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

Adapted from 1 Corinthians 12

Leader: “Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.” 

People: “For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.”

Leader: “For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free;”

People:  We “were all given to drink into one Spirit.” Come, Holy Spirit!

All: Let us worship God!
