Call to Worship-

Psalm 96:1-4

1 Sing to the Lord a new song;
   sing to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing to the Lord, praise his name;
   proclaim his salvation day after day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
   his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

4 For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
   he is to be feared above all gods.

Jeremiah 4:1-4

“If you, Israel, will return,
   then return to me,”
declares the Lord.
“If you put your detestable idols out of my sight
   and no longer go astray,
2 and if in a truthful, just and righteous way
   you swear, ‘As surely as the Lord lives,’
then the nations will invoke blessings by him
   and in him they will boast.”

3 This is what the Lord says to the people of Judah and to Jerusalem:

“Break up your unplowed ground
   and do not sow among thorns.
4 Circumcise yourselves to the Lord,
   circumcise your hearts,
   you people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem,
or my wrath will flare up and burn like fire
   because of the evil you have done—
   burn with no one to quench it.
