Call to Worship God, to Gather Together
Psalm 111:1
Praise the LORD! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation.
The true, genuine worship is when man, through his Spirit, attains to friendship and intimacy with God. True and genuine worship is not to come to a certain place. It is not to go through a certain ritual or liturgy; it is not even to bring certain gifts. True worship is when the spirit, the immortal and invisible part of man, speaks to and meets with God, who is Immortal and invisible.
~ William Barclay
Prayer
Almighty and most kind God, You sent us Jesus the Prince of Peace, to bless us with peace that the world cannot give, and You desire us to be agents of peace for others. Let our Prince of Peace lead the way as we seek to be like Christ and act like the children of God that we are; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
