Call to Worship | God Gathers His People
Minister: The LORD reigns; let the peoples tremble!
He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!
The LORD is great in Zion;
he is exalted over all the peoples.
Let them praise your great and awesome name!
Holy is the LORD!
The King in his might loves justice.
You have established equity;
you have executed justice
and righteousness in [the Church].
Exalt the LORD our God;
worship at his footstool!
Holy is the LORD!

Congregation Reads:
We believe Jesus of Nazareth was a man attested by God,
with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him;
he was delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God,
he was crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.
We believe God raised Jesus up, loosing the pangs of death,
because it was not possible for death to hold him.
We believe Jesus was exalted to the right hand of God,
and he received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit,
and he poured out the Spirit on all flesh.
Let all know for certain that God has made Jesus both Lord and Christ.
(Based on Acts 2:22-36 ESV)

Ordination Service for Deacons:
Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. Their wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things. Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well. For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus. (1 Timothy 3:8-13 ESV)
