CALL
TO WORSHIP
The
God of our Past, our Present, and our Future
invites
us to worship as we prepare for Christmas.
We
come closer to the birth of Jesus
the
excitement is building, our preparations continue
As
we prepare ourselves, we sing, we pray, we reflect
opening
our eyes and hearts and souls to God’s presence.
PRAYER
FOR AND ASSURANCE OF GRACE
Joy!
God sometimes Joy is hard.
Sometimes
we look at the world around us and find nothing to be joyful about.
If
we are honest we know that the world is a troubled place
That
is why we know we need you, why we need Jesus to be born in our world
again.
God
as we sing about Christmas help us remember the Grace that Jesus
preached.
The
Grace that helps us reform and reshape our lives and our world. Joy
to the World, Jesus is coming!
Amen
COMMISSIONING:
In
this season of Joy and Hope we get ready for the coming of the Prince
of Peace
We
go from this time of worship to prepare our homes and our hearts.
As
you continue to prepare for the amazing birth that is a fortnight
away be sure and secure in the knowledge that the God who breaks into
the world as a Baby is with you everywhere you go.
In
trust we will walk with God: Parent, Child, and Spirit. Amen.
