Joys and Prayer Concerns

Morning Prayer

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 tempta&on, but deliver

us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,

forever. Amen.

Offering & Offertory

God, who promised to come, has come, and has promised to come

again, we are preparing ourselves for your return and offer our gi;s

and ourselves to make the way straight for Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

*Doxology #94

Welcome to Sudley Church! We are so pleased to have you worship with us.

We believe that you will experience Christ today because He promised to be

with us whenever we meet in His name. Please fill out the blue visitor card

and place it in the offering plate.

This holy place is not the only place for singing. Take this holy song in

your heart out into your home, your office, your car, your

neighborhood and sing it for all to hear. It is the song of Christmas,

the song of God’s great love for the whole world. Many need to hear

it. Perhaps others will join in and make a mighty chorus of angels in

Christmas praise. Amen.
