Taize'

During Lent our church is having a Wednesday service that is very different from the noise of most Sunday mornings in America. The service is as follows:

Bell (3 rings) calls us to worship.

• Our pastor welcomes us, explains the service and its history.
• First Hymn: Glory to God

Glory to God, Glory to God
Glory in the Highest
Glory to God, Glory to God
Alleluia, Alleluia

• Psalm 139 read responsively, Pastor Phillips reads the odd numbered verses and we respond with the even number verses. (very powerful)
• Second Hymn: It is Good to Trust

It is Good to Trust in the Lord our God,
Trust and Hope in the Lord our God.

• SILENCE for REFLECTION (no noise!, no background music, silence!!!)
• Third Hymn: Bless the Lord

Bless the Lord, My Soul,
And Bless God's Holy Name.
Bless the Lord, My Soul,
Who leads me into Life.

• Gospel Reading: John 13: 1-17 (different each week)
• Fourth Hymn: Wait For the Lord

Wait For the Lord,
Whose Day is Near.
Wait for the Lord;
Be Strong, Take Heart!

• Silence
  
• Fifth Hymn: Come and Fill

Come and fill our hearts with Your peace.
You alone, O Lord, are Holy
Come and fill our hearts with Your peace,
Alleluia!

• Prayer
• The Lord's Prayer
• Sixth Hymn: In the Lord

In the Lord I'll be ever Thankful
In the Lord I will rejoice!
Look to God, do not be afraid.
Lift up your voices,
the Lord is near;
lift up your voices,
the Lord is near.

• Benediction
• Passing the Peace of Christ

Amen.
