PRAISE Call to Worship from Psalm 90:1-6 [PLEASE STAND]
Leader Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.
People Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
Leader You turn us back to the dust, and say, “Turn back, O mortal ones!” People For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past,
or as a watch in the night. Leader You sweep them away; they are like a dream, like grass which is renewed in
the morning: ALL in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and
withers. Amen.
