Prelude

Hymn
2 Holy, Holy, Holy

Welcome

Hymn
 587 Jesus Shall Reign

Responsive Reading
Leader: Lord, you have been our refuge from one generation to another.  Before the mountains
were brought forth, or the land and the earth were born,
People: from age to age you are God.
Leader: You turn us back to the dust and say, "Go back, O child of earth."
People: For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past and like a watch
in the night. You sweep us away like a dream; we fade away suddenly like the grass.
Leader: In the morning it is green and flourishes; in the evening it is dried up and withered.
People: Return, O Lord; how long will you tarry? be gracious to your servants.
Leader: Satisfy us by your loving-kindness in the morning; so shall we rejoice and be glad all the
days of our life.
People: Make us glad by the measure of the days that you afflicted us and the years in which
we suffered adversity.
Leader: Show your servants your works, and your splendor to their children.
People: May the graciousness of the Lord our God be upon us; prosper the work of our
hands; prosper our handiwork.

GETTING TO KNOW UBC

At UBC we want you to know Christ and His followers here at UBC. "Getting to Know UBC" is a podcast interview where a UBC person is introduced and interviewed. The conversations can go a variety of directions and we hope you learn things about people you might already know and get to know people you have not met yet. We will update these conversations regularly and try to cover the diverse group of generations we have here at UBC. Enjoy "Getting to Know UBC" under the Media tab.
