Welcoming | My Peace (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Christine Dickerson |
We pray to you, our God, when we are in need and when we are in wonder. You are our anchor and strength, always with us, revealing a deeper meaning in life, and hope for the life that is to come. How thankful we are, and how amazed at the depth of your love! Lord, we are human, and even as your children we can fall to sin. Please forgive us, help us, and lead us to lives transformed by your grace. Without you, we are nothing; with you, everything. We ask in the name of Jesus Christ, your beloved, Amen. |

Life of the Church | Special Music | Elder Jim DeHart |
Hear the Good News! Who is in a position to condemn? Only Christ, and Christ died for us, Christ rose for us, Christ reigns in power for us, Christ prays for us. Anyone who is in Christ is a new creation. The old life has gone; a new life has begun. Know you are forgiven and be at peace. Amen. |
||
Passing of the Peace | We Three Kings | 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. |
