Welcoming/Preparing to Meet with God | “My Peace” (As we return to our seats.) | Rev. Christine Dickerson |
Lord over all, we give thanks for this new year, this new beginning. All creation stirs as your name becomes known; the heavens sing the song of ‘God-with-us’, and your people join with thankful praise. Remind us, we pray, to look towards you and not be caught up in the cruelty and selfishness that destroys the human spirit. Help us to claim the goodness of our nature, and to be healers and helpers in the world. We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen. |

Life of the Church & Prayer Requests | “We Three Kings” | Elder Morella Larsen |
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. |
||
Passing of the Peace | “Gloria Patri” | Congregation |
God, source of all light, by your Word you give light to the soul. Pour out upon us the spirit of wisdom and understanding, that, through the Scriptures, our hearts and minds may be opened to know your will in our lives. Amen. |
