Welcoming/Preparing to Meet with God | Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus | Pastor Bill Johnson |
As we begin our adventure toward celebrating the birth of Jesus, we praise you for this journey. May this not be something taken alone, but may we do with you and with those around us. May we have the courage to share your name where ever we go and in all we do. Forgive us when we shrink from this opportunity to share your love and peace. 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 |

Pastoral Greeting | His Name is Wonderful | Pastor Bill Johnson |
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. |
