WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
CALL TO WORSHIP
INTROIT: There’s A Wideness in God’s Mercy by Mary McDonald
There is welcome for the sinner and more graces for the good; there is mercy with the Savior; there is healing in his blood. But we make his love too narrow by false limits of our own; and we magnify his strictness with a zeal he will not own. There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, like the wideness of the sea; there’s a kindness in his justice, which is more than liberty. If our love were but more simple, we could take him at his word; and our lives would be more loving in the likeness of our Lord. [Frederick W. Faber]

ANTHEM: Judge Eternal by Malcolm Archer
Judge eternal, throned in splendor, Lord of lords and King of kings, with thy living fire of judgement purge this realm of bitter things: solace all its wide dominion with the healing of thy wings. Still the weary folk are pining for the hour that brings release: and the city’s crowded clangor cries aloud for sin to cease; and the homesteads and the woodlands plead in silence for their peace. Crown, O God, thine own endeavor, cleave our darkness with thy sword: feed the faint and hungry heathen with the richness of thy word: cleanse the body of this empire through the glory of the Lord. Amen. [Henry Scott Holland]
