OAK GROVE

Welcome

To a celebration of the Lord's Day

3rd Sunday in Lent

GATHERING AND GREETING

Prelude

Welcome                     

*Opening Hymn: “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah”           127  

*Call to Worship:  (responsively)

Let us test and examine our ways, and return to the Lord!

God has blessed us; let all the ends of the earth fear him!

Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake their way, and the unrighteous their thoughts; let them return to the Lord.

The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

That he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in His paths.

* Gloria Patri                                                                                        70

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost, As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, World without end, Amen, Amen.
