Welcoming/Preparing to Meet with God | Alleluia for Advent | Pastor Bill Johnson |
God of love, we thank you that we are able to see and feel your loving presence in the midst of us, although we do not deserve it. Thank you for this lovely church, for the grass and water, the sky and air we breathe. We live in confidence of your great love and in gratitude of your great sacrifice. Forgive us when we take you for granted. Thank you for your promised forgiveness when we confess to you. This we pray in Jesus’ name and for the sake of the world. Amen |

Prelude | Joy to the World | Choir |
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. |
