Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Christine Dickerson |
O God, we are filled with joy and expectation as we wait for the birth of your son, Jesus. We know that on that day the world was forever changed, and we were given new life. Such a generous gift is beyond measure, and we are humbled. Help us to repair our fallen ways, and make room for the Lord in our hearts. Help us to heal the brokenness of the world, to make way for your light. In you we find our strength, help us to embrace your plan for us, and to be your hope for others. We ask in Jesus |

Life of the Church | A Child Is Born | Elder Jim DeHart |
Who is in a position to condemn? Only Christ, and Christ died for us, was risen for us, and reigns in power over us. Sisters and brothers hear this good news. Through Christ we are forgiven and reconciled with the Creator of all. |

Passing of the Peace | Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee | 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. |

Prelude | Go, Tell It On The Mountain | Praise Band |
