Call to Worship
We have come as the body of Christ to do Holy business for our King. We have come in troubled times, but we have high spirits. We know the Eternal One is still on the throne. Saints, lift up holy hands, lift high your voices and praise the Sovereign One. Mighty is our God, holy are His judgments, and He is altogether lovely. Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him!

Catechism – a set form of questions and answers to teach the tenets of the Christian Faith:
Question: What does God require in the first, second and third commandments?
Answer: First, that we know and trust God as the only true and living God. Second, that we avoid all idolatry and do not worship God improperly. Third, that we treat God’s name with fear and reverence, honoring also His Word and works.
Question: What does God require in the fourth and fifth commandments?
Answer: Fourth, that on the Sabbath day we spend time in public and private worship of God, rest, serve the Lord and others, and so anticipate the eternal Sabbath. Fifth, that we love and honor our father and our mother, submitting to their godly discipline and direction.
Question: What does God require in the sixth, seventh, and eighth commandments?
Answer:
Sixth, that we do not hurt, or hate, or be hostile to our neighbor, but be
patient and peaceful, pursuing even our enemies with love. Seventh, that we
abstain from sexual immorality and live purely and faithfully, whether in
marriage or in single life, avoiding all impure actions, looks, words,
thoughts, or desires, and whatever might lead to them. Eighth, that we do not
take without permission that which belongs to someone else, nor withhold any
good from someone we might benefit.
