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 | “Blessing and Honor” | 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. |

God of new life and new living, as this New Year begins to unfold, help us to hear your loving voice proclaim to each of us, “This is my beloved child, with whom I am well pleased.” We praise you, giving you all the honor and glory asking that we would be so faithful to you that all the world might recognize your love and grace at work through us. Forgive us when we fall short of living your love. Thank you for your love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness that brings us new life in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen |
