2. Scripture Reading: Romans 15:8-11
Romans 15:8-11 (KJV) 8  Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: 9  And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name  And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people  And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.

3. Responsive Reading- Psalms 146:1-6
Leader v1: Praise ye the Lord, O my soul All v2: While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. Leader v3: Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help All v4: His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Leader v5: Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God: All v6: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever
