Welcoming/Preparing to Meet with God | Joy To The World | Pastor Bill Johnson |
Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen. |

Pastoral Greeting | “The Advent of our God” | Pastor Bill Johnson |
O God, without your love nothing is certain. Grant us such trust in your inscrutable yet sure ways, that we give our brokenness for your healing. Forgive us for the brokenness we cause others and help us to become transformed agents of reconciliation and healing. Thank you for this season of anticipation looking forward to celebrating the birth of Jesus our Lord. Thank you for your loving forgiveness and mercy that brings us new life in Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen |
