WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP

WORSHIP IN SONG

PRAYER/SCRIPTURE READING:[1 Kings 8:22-30 CSB] [22] Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the entire congregation of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven. [23] He said: LORD God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth below, who keeps the gracious covenant with your servants who walk before you with all their heart. [24] You have kept what you promised to your servant, my father David. You spoke directly to him and you fulfilled your promise by your power as it is today. [25] Therefore, LORD God of Israel, keep what you promised to your servant, my father David: You will never fail to have a man to sit before me on the throne of Israel, if only your sons take care to walk before me as you have walked before me. [26] Now LORD God of Israel, please confirm what you promised to your servant, my father David. [27] But will God indeed live on earth? Even heaven, the highest heaven, cannot contain you, much less this temple I have built. [28] Listen to your servant's prayer and his petition, LORD my God, so that you may hear the cry and the prayer that your servant prays before you today, [29] so that your eyes may watch over this temple night and day, toward the place where you said, "My name will be there," and so that you may hear the prayer that your servant prays toward this place. [30] Hear the petition of your servant and your people Israel, which they pray toward this place. May you hear in your dwelling place in heaven. May you hear and forgive.
