*Call to Worship                                                               Judy Healy

L: LORD, you have searched me and known me.

C: You know when I sit down and when I rise up; 
You discern my thoughts from far away.

L: You search out my path and my lying down, 
And are acquainted with all my ways.

C: Even before a word is on my tongue, 
 LORD, you know it completely.”

L: We worship You, O God,
For you know us through and through.

*Hymn of Praise         “He’s Able”        by Kirk Franklin

He’s able
He’s able

I know that He can do it
He said He’d help me through it
