 CALL TO WORSHIP:               from Psalm 19
The heavens declare the glory of God.
The skies proclaim the work of His hands.
    Day after day the heavens pour forth speech;
    night after night the skies display knowledge.
In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun. It rises
at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other.
    The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul
    The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever.
Forgive my hidden faults and errors, My Redeemer,
Keep Your servant also from willful sins.
     May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my
     heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord my Rock.
​INVOCATION:                                                            Dr. Domske
* Hymn    “Angels From the Realms of Glory”        #143
 
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION:                                  (UNISON)\
O Lord, You are my rock and my Redeemer.
Why do You put up with my continual sinning?
Why can I not learn to be unselfish?
Why did You send Your Son as a Babe to die for me?
Father of All, forgive me my sins. Help me to learn to
love You more. Help me to learn to love myself less.
The beauty of this time of year humbles us.
Thank You for sending Your Son to us in a manger.
