Anticipating Worship (December 31)

First Sunday after Christmas/New Year's Eve


Worship Focus:  We live for Christ who gives us salvation, peace, and joy.

Scripture Readings:
Isaiah 45:20-25
Psalm 111
Colossians 3:12-17
Luke 2:25-40

Sermon Meditation:  Luke 2:25-35

Enter the New Year with Open Eyes
1.  To see the Child in the present
2.  To see the Child in the future

Prayer of the Day:  Almighty God, in mercy you sent your one and only Son to take upon himself our human nature.  By his gracious coming, deliver us from the corruption of our sin and transform us into the likeness of his glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.  Amen.


We will have a special service as we end one year and enter another year.  But the focus remains on the Christ born on Christmas Day.  Simeon and Ana saw him.  So do we.

See you in church at 9:30 AM.

Blessings in the New Year.
