Organ prelude: Fugue on “As with gladness men of old” Bruce Nasmith *Processional Hymn: As with gladness men of old No. 172 Welcome, Announcements & Worship Theme CALL TO WORSHIP: “They shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praise of the Lord.” (Isaiah 60:6) “On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure-chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” (Matthew 2:11) We gather to worship because we want to open ourselves to the energy flow of Love who is God. We gather to worship because we want to grow in our faith, our hope and our love as we engage the world around us. We gather for worship because we want to connect what we believe with how we live, and we want to become inspired and empowered to live as we believe. ALL: Let us worship God together! *Hymn: What star is this No. 170 Prayer of Approach, Confession & The Lord’s Prayer 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. The Peace of Christ be with you all; And also with you.
