Hymn
 40 Heavenly Hosts in Ceaseless Worship

Responsive Reading (from Psalm 70)
Leader: Be pleased, O God, to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me.
ALL: Let those who seek my life be ashamed and altogether dismayed; let those who take
pleasure in my misfortune draw back and be disgraced.
ALL: Let those who say to me "Aha!" and gloat over me turn back, because they are
ashamed.
Leader: Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; let those who love your salvation say for
ever, "Great is the Lord!"
ALL: But as for me, I am poor and needy; come to me speedily, O God.  You are my helper
and my deliverer; O Lord, do not tarry.

Hymn
198 At the Name of Jesus

Prayers of the People
Ever-living God, you inscribe our names in your book of life so that we may share in the first
fruits of salvation. Grant that we may acknowledge Christ as our redeemer and, trusting in
him, be confident that none of your own will be lost or forgotten. We ask this in the name of
Jesus the Lord. Amen.

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.
