Give Your All

Here are a couple of worship resources appropriate for November 11.

CALL TO WORSHIP
Excerpted from Omni 1:44-47

Traditional language:

Leader:   Come to God,
               and believe in all things which are good.
All:         For there is nothing that is good
               save it comes from the Lord.

Leader:   Come to Christ,
               and partake of the power of his redemption.
All:         Come to him,
               and offer your whole souls as an offering.


Contemporary language:

Leader:   Come to God,
               and believe in all things that are good.
All:         For everything that is good
               comes from God.

Leader:   Come to Christ,
               and experience the power of his redemption.
All:         Come to him,
               and give your whole self as an offering.

SCRIPTURE READING
Adapted from Mosiah 9:60-63

This passage could be read in tandem with Mark 12:38-44 in the “two witnesses” style. For an example of the style, see this post.

Alma commanded that the people of the church
should impart of their substance,
everyone according to what they had.

Those who had more abundantly,
should impart more abundantly;
and of those who had but little,
little should be required;
and to those who had not, should be given.

Thus they should impart of their substance
of their own free will
and good desires toward God
to every needy, naked soul.

This Alma said to them,
having been commanded of God.
