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, and the power, and the glory, forever.

Celebration of the Holy Eucharist Invitation

Prayer of Confession Rev. Walker O holy and merciful God, we confess that we have not always taken upon ourselves the yoke of obedience, nor been willing to seek and to do your perfect will. We have not loved you with all our heart and mind and soul and strength, neither have we loved our neighbors as ourselves. You have called to us in the need of our sisters and brothers, and we have passed unheeding on our way.

In the pride of our hearts, and our unwillingness to repent, we have turned away from the cross of Christ, and have grieved your Holy Spirit.

All offer prayers of confession in silence.

What a great time of the year we’re enjoying. I trust your Thanksgiving Day was memorable and meaningful. I’m re-minded of Psalm 92 where the psalmist declares, “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High.” What follows in that psalm is the wondrous declaration of the acts of God by the psalmist. The goodness of God floods the heart and mind of the worshipper. That’s a good way to live.

The month of December will be filled with opportunities for us to worship and fellowship together in thanksgiving. Don’t forget the invitations that were distributed last Sunday. Invite someone to the “Good News Place.” I’m convinced the Holy Spirit will lead you to that person. Just pray and obey. Then watch what God does!

For Advent I’ll be preaching a series entitled, “All I Want For Christmas Is….” What about it? What’s stirring in your heart that reflects a need in your soul? The Advent series is printed below. Invite someone and let’s come together each Sunday with expectant hearts.

O come, O come Emmanuel,

Len
