Welcoming/Preparing to Meet with God | “My Peace” (As we return to our seats) | Rev. Christine Dickerson |
God of all creation, we rejoice in the birth of your son, and the certain knowledge that through him we are assured of your grace. We give thanks for the happiness of this day, that no matter who we are or where we are, your love is with us. Forgive us, O Lord, when we doubt; help us to live boldly in your light, hand in hand with all your children, caring for one another with the heart of Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen. |
||
Passing of the Peace | Joy, Joy, Joy | Congregation |
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. |
