Welcoming/Preparing to Meet with God | Silent Night | Pastor Bill Johnson |
God of all creation, we praise you for the life you have given us; we thank you for your Church, the Body of Christ. We seek your forgiveness for the divisiveness which sometimes divides us. We pray that we will remember the One who unites us as we enter this New Year. Bring us close to you as we gather at our Lord’s Table this morning. Thank you for your forgiveness and new life; thank you for your love, mercy, and grace that fills us with hope in Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen |

Prelude | “Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah” | Praise band |
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 | “O God, Our Help In Ages Past” | Pastor Bill Johnson |
We believe we are here in Palm Springs to “proclaim the Good News of God by reaching out to others and inviting them into a new relationship with Jesus Christ. We commit ourselves, therefore, to be a center for spiritual growth and friendship, where the teachings of Jesus Christ are faithfully received and God’s grace is celebrated joyfully with Christian friends.” This we affirm in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. |
