Call to Worship

(based on Psalm 106: 1-6, 19-23)

Let us praise God,

whose goodness and steadfast love are everlasting.
With joy we praise God’s wonderful deeds.
Happy are those who act justly

and whose lives reflect God’s righteousness at all times;
so look on us with favour, O God,

for we rejoice in all your faithful dealings

with those who have gone before us.
Like them, we have sinned;

we fall far short of your goodness.
Like them, we forget you

and replace you with idols of our own making.
Yet, as you heard Moses’ prayer for his people

and delivered them from certain death and destruction,
so you hear Jesus’ prayers for us,

and graciously grant us the gift of salvation.
Let us together praise God,

whose goodness and steadfast love are everlasting.
