Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Christine Dickerson |
God, Creator of all, on this Sunday after Christmas we rest in the glow of the stable, and the world seems changed. What was chaos has become calm, and lights of celebration, still shining in the darkness, remind us of the one Light that has entered the world so that we, your people, might know the peace that is your love. We sing our songs of praise to you, O Lord, and as we sing we whisper for your forgiveness, knowing how we forget to love, to see, to tell your story and to live your story. Bind our hearts to you we pray, that the joy of this moment will become the center of who we are, always. We ask in a Jesus’ name, Amen. |

Life of the Church | Special Music | Elder Morella Larsen |
There is no sin so terrible that God cannot forgive There is no hurt so terrible that God cannot heal In Jesus Christ, God has forgiven us and set us free! |

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 | Gloria Patri | Praise Band |
O God, light of the minds that know you, life of the souls that love you, strength of the thoughts that seek you, help us to know you so that we may truly love you and truly serve you, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. |
