Dear Church Family and Friends,

Grace and peace to you on this Second week of Advent. We hope and pray you are safe and well. We will also be partaking of Holy Communion so please have bread/cracker and wine/grape juice handy. May God richly bless you this day:

Welcome

Prelude — Creator of the Stars at Night, Wilbur Held

Call to Worship

Get ready, people of God! The time of hope and peace is at hand.
We are called to action rather than reaction.
Open your hearts to God’s Word and God’s will.
Help us to be workers for God rather than observers.
Come, draw near to God in faith.
Let us prepare our hearts to receive the wondrous gifts of God. Amen.
