Prelude: It Is Well with My Soul

Welcome & Prayer of Adoration

Call to Worship: Psalm 34:1-10, 22

  I will bless the Lord at all times;
          his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
  My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
          let the humble hear and be glad.
  O magnify the Lord with me,
          and let us exalt his name together.

  I sought the Lord, and he answered me,
          and delivered me from all my fears.
  Look to him, and be radiant;
          so your faces shall never be ashamed.
  This poor soul cried, and was heard by the Lord,
          and was saved from every trouble.
  The angel of the Lord encamps
          around those who fear him, and delivers them.
  O taste and see that the Lord is good;
          happy are those who take refuge in him.
  O fear the Lord, you his holy ones,
          for those who fear him have no want.
  The young lions suffer want and hunger,
          but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

The Lord redeems the life of his servants;
none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.

Scripture Reading: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died. For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will by no means precede those who have died. For the Lord himself, with a cry of command, with the archangel’s call and with the sound of God’s trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.
