PSPC Worship Service

One: Surely the Lord is in this place, and we did not know it. 
All: We do not know when and where God

One: Before a word is on our tongue, God knows it completely. Before we ask for forgiveness, God is at work to set things right. Let us therefore confess our sin and the sin of the world together.

For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
