+Hymn: Awesome God TFWS 2040
Call To Worship
Leader: Our help is in the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth. All: We glorify our God with songs of thanksgiving and joy.
Leader: God has done great things for us, filling us with grace.
All: God fed our ancestors in the wilderness, God clothes us with hope.
Leader: We will offer our hearts to God, always saying, 'Thank you!' to the One who loves us.
All: We will sing our praises, shouting of God's presence in our lives.
A Corporate Reading of Colossians 1:15-20
Leader: The Son is the image of the invisible God, the one who is first over all creation,
All: Because all things were created by him: both in the heavens and on the earth, the things that are visible and the things that are invisible. Whether they are thrones or powers, or rulers or authorities, all things were created through him and for him.
Leader: He existed before all things, and all things are held together in him. He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the one who is firstborn from among the dead so that he might occupy the first place in everything.
All: Because all the fullness of God was pleased to live in him, and he reconciled all things to himself through him—whether things on earth or in the heavens. He brought peace through the blood of his cross.
