Welcoming/Preparing to Meet with God | “Mary Did You Know?” | Pastor Bill Johnson |
Gracious and loving God, your great love has been embodied in Jesus; for your great love we give you all the honor and glory forever. May the work of transforming the world through our gifts to others transform us to become more and more filled with that love God has given. Forgive us when our hearts and lives are not transformed by your love and when we do not share your transforming and life-giving love with others. Have mercy upon us, O Lord, for we belong to you. Thank you for your loving forgiveness and mercy that brings us new life in Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen |

Prelude | “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” | Solo by Kelly Reece |
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. |
