Call to Worship

Psalm 112:1-9

¹Madaydayaw ti Apo!

Nagasat ti tao nga agbuteng ken ni Yahweh,

a maragsakan a mangtungpal kadagiti bilbilinna.

²Nabilegto dagiti annakna iti daga; mabendisionanto dagiti kaputotanna.

³Nasanikua ken nabaknang ti familiana, ket agnanayonto ti kinalintegna.

⁴Uray iti sipnget, agraniag ti silaw kadagiti naimbag a tattao, kadagiti naparabur, naasi ken nalinteg.

⁵Nagasat ti tao a naparabur iti panagpautangna; ken awan dakes a pakasarsaritaanna.

⁶Awanto a pulos ti pakaan-anoanna, ket saanto a malipatan uray kaanoman.

⁷Dinto agbuteng a makangngeg kadagiti dakes a damag.

Natibker ti pammatina, ket agtalek ken ni Yahweh.

⁸Saan nga agdanag wenno agbuteng, di agduadua a makitananto a maparmek ti kabusorna.

⁹Mangted a sibubuslon kadagiti adda kasapulanna, saanto nga agpatingga ti panangngaasina; mannakabalin ken raraemento dagiti tattao

        Generosity Reading

Reader 1: Agsipud ta daytoy iti kinapudno, saan kadi nga agpal-palama tayo amin? Saan kadi nga amin tayo ket may-maysa a Dios iti pagtataudan dagiti kasapulan tayo, taraon man, pagan-anay, wenno dagiti kinabaknang nga adda kadatayo?

Reader 2: Pudno, uray kadagitoy a gundaway, addakayo nga umaw-awag iti naganna ken agpak-pakaasi iti pannaka-pakawan dagiti bas-basolyo. Ket saan kadi a nagsagaba gapu kadakayo?

Reader 1: Saan, imbuyatna ketdi iti Espirituna kadakayo, ket tapno mapno dagiti pus-pusoyo iti kinarag-o, aglip-lippias a kinarag-o.

Reader 2: Ket ita, nu iti Dios a nangparsua kadakayo, a ti biagyo ket maigapu kekuana ken amin dagiti adda kadakayo, kenkuana nga amin dagiti dawatenyo ket ipaayna kadakayo nu la ketdi dagitoy pagsayaatanyo, iti pammati, patienyo a dagitoy ket itdenna kadakayo, ket kasano ngarud met iti panangibingayyo iti tunggal maysa kadagitoy a parabur?

                                                                —Mosiah 2:32-36, adapted

        Mangipaay kadagiti sarita manipud kadagitoy a saludsud:

·     Kasano a dagiti datoy tayo iti daytoy nga aldaw ket mabalin a makatunlong iti panag-ranniag iti silaw kadagiti kina-awan hustisiya?

·     Kaano a nariknam iti pannakaawismo iti panangipaay iti tunggal maysa?

·     Kaano nga iti kinaparaburmo ket nangipaay kenka iti naindaklan a kinarag-o?

285 For Everyone Born

For everyone born, a place at the table,
for everyone born, clean water and bread,
a shelter, a space, a safe place for growing,
for everyone born, a star overhead.

And God will delight
when we are creators of justice
and joy, compassion and peace:
yes, God will delight
when we are creators of justice,
justice and joy.

For woman and man, a place at the table,
revising the roles, deciding the share,
with wisdom and grace dividing the power,
for woman and man, a system that’s fair.

For young and for old, a place at the table,
a voice to be heard, a part in the song,
the hands of a child in hands that are wrinkled,
for young and for old, the right to belong.

For just and unjust, a place at the table,
abuser, abused, with need to forgive,
in anger, in hurt, a mindset of mercy,
for just and unjust, a new way to live.

For everyone born, a place at the table,
to live without fear, and simply to be,
to work, to speak out, to witness and worship,
for everyone born, the right to be free.

23  NAPNOAN RAGSAC TOY PUSOC ITA

(Sunshine In My Soul)

Napnoan ragsac toy pusoc ita,

Nadayag naraniag,

Awan pulos ti pumada,

Ni Jesus ti lawag.

Coro:

O, Naraniag, nagasat lawag,

Mangted talna, ragsac cararuac,

No rupa ni Jesus makitac,

Agragsac toy cararuac.

Agcanta toy cararuac ita,

Pagdayaw naganna,

Ni Jesus amin denggenna,

Cancanta Kencuana.

Naraniag daytoy pusoc ita,

Ti Dios maki-adda,

Toy pusoc inna maricna,

Talna ken ayatna.

Agrambac toy cararuac ita,

Ti dayaw itedna,

Ta ni Jesus amin itdenna,

Rag-o di mamingga.
