Walk worthy of the Lord (see p 3)
Choral Amen
This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous shall enter
through it.
I thank you that you have answered me and have become
my salvation.
The stone that the builders rejected has become the
chief cornerstone.
This is the Lord’s doing;
it is marvellous in our eyes.
This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Save us, we beseech you, O Lord!
O Lord, we beseech you, give us success! R
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
We bless you from the house of the Lord.
The Lord is God, who has given us light. Bind the
festal procession with branches, up to the horns of the
altar.
You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;
you are my God, I will extol you.
All: O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures for ever. R
Walk worthy of the Lord. Come give your heart to Christ.
Live always bearing fruit for him.
Live, strengthened by his might.
Walk worthy of the lord, all power to his name.
Give him glory, give him honour.
Walk worthy of the lord.

The Church’s Mission and Ministry in Ghana
Your gifts to Presbyterians Sharing help connect people in
Canada with long-term mission partners through mission
trips. More than an ordinary trip, a mission trip is a spiritual
journey that can transform the lives of participants. In
November 2012, a group from the Presbytery of West
Toronto visited PCC partners in Ghana with PCC Mission
Trip Coordinator, Matt Foxall. The group was hosted by
our partner church, The Presbyterian Church of Ghana.
Participants discovered the depth and breadth of this
Church’s mission and ministry and offered encouragement
and support along the way. They also visited projects
supported by Presbyterian World Service & Development
and Presbyterians Sharing.
