Welcome, Introduction and Call to Worship
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
the Lord is the strength of my life.
The Father has delivered us
from the dominion of darkness,
and transferred us to the
kingdom of his beloved Son.
For the God who said
‘Let light shine out of darkness’,
has caused his light to shine within us,
to give the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God
in the face of Jesus Christ.
