CALL TO WORSHIP (from Psalm 30)
Sing praises to the LORD,
and give thanks to God's holy name
for the LORD our God has healed us
when we cried for help
and restored us in times of deepest despair.
The LORD has turned our sorrow into dancing;
taken our sackcloth from us,and clothed us with joy.
Sing to the LORD without end,
and give thanks to the LORD for ever. 
Eternal and ever present God,
sustain and excite our gathered community;
arouse our expectancy;
subdue our expectations.
Come, silent Spirit, and embrace us.
Let the words we see and hear and speak and sing
be transformed by the Word made flesh, 
that our worship may be wholly yours, Lord God.
We pray in the name of the risen and ascended Christ. Amen
 

WE GATHER BEFORE GOD (From Psalm 30)
Joyful praise I give you, O LORD;
you drew me up and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.
I called on you and you healed me;
you brought my life up from the darkest depths.
I was among those going down to a pit of death, 
but you brought me to life.
All you faithful, praise the LORD, 
praise the holy name of the LORD.
 

PRAYER OF PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING (From Psalm 30)
O LORD, a fractured relationship with you is like a death;
yet your one desire is life - community with you.
With darkness weeping remains, 
but joy comes with the hint of morning light.
We've come to take so much for granted in our lives:
"I'm OK - steady as a rock. 
In fact, LORD, you've been so good to me 
I'm more secure than a strong mountain."
Then it seemed that you hid your face from me, 
and I was terrified.
I cried out to you, LORD, when things were really grim;
I pleaded with you to restore my good circumstance:
"What profit is there in my weeping, in my going down in the pit?
Will the dust praise you? Will it declare your faithfulness?
Hear me, LORD, and be merciful.
O LORD, be my help."
You transformed my mourning into dance,
and gave me new life; 
you have taken my sack-cloth and clothed me with joy,
so that my life will praise you, and not weep.
O LORD, my God, I will praise you - for ever.
