“The Family of God”
I’m so glad I’m a part of the family of God—I’ve been washed in the fountain,
cleansed by His blood! Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod;
for I’m part of the family, the family of God.
*Call to Worship
Psalm 112
L: Praise the Lord. Blessed are those who fear the Lord,
who greatly delight in God’s commandments!
P: Their descendants will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
L: Wealth and riches are in their house, and their righteousness endures for ever.
P: They rise in the darkness as a light for the upright;
they are gracious, merciful and righteous.
L: It is well with those who deal generously and lend,
who conduct their affairs with justice.
P: For the righteous shall never be moved; they will be remembered for ever.
