PSPC Worship Service

Good Morning Palm Springs Presbyterian Church.

Today we celebrate the 3rd Sunday of Advent. And, as is our tradition we have beautiful Christmas poinsettias here on our altar. Several of them have been donated in memory of loved ones. Those that have been given in memory are shown on the screen. We are sure there will be more of you donating a poinsettia and we will be sure to include your name and your loved ones on our list.

(I am okay with Pauline reading the list below since there are not too many. I will leave that up to the two of you to decide what is best)

One: Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love;
All: according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.

One: God so loved the world that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.

All; Indeed, God did not send the son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might saved through him.

(John 3:16-17)

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.

All:

I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, to present yourselves as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.
Let us offer our lives to the Lord.
Romans 12:1

God of unending gifts, we praise you for your abundant goodness.
As you are generous, we want to be generous too.
May the gifts we bring extend your generosity into the world,
so that all people may be made whole by your goodness and grace. Amen.
