GATHERING AROUND THE WORLD
MEDITATION ~ "All of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud, but show favor to the humble." Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time." ~ 1 Peter 5:5-6
CALL TO WORSHIP
There is good news of great joy for all!
Our Savior is born; The Messiah, the Lord.
Tell the good news throughout the earth:
the saving grace of Jesus Christ is for all.
Let us worship God.
*WORSHIP IN SONG ~ Hymn #370 ~ "Just As I Am Without Plea"
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
God our Savior, we confess that we fail to live in your light. You have searched for us, and yet we hide from you. You have lavished us with blessing and yet we treasurer earthly things.
Time of Prayer and Silent Confession
Forgive us, God of grace. Let the mystery of your saving love be revealed, even in our lives, according to your eternal purpose; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON
...Friends, believe the good news of the Gospel.
In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven!
*GLORIA PATRI
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
