Welcome & Lighting the Christ Candle Rev. Julie Kline

Opening Prayer Johnson Family (Danette, Steve, Chris, Grace)

One Voice: Merciful God, who is more than we can ever imagine, give us a wider vision of the world; give us a broader view of justice; give us dreams of peace that are not defined by boundaries of geography or race or religion, or by the limitations of worldly structures and systems.

All: Open our eyes and our ears that wherever we go, we may hear your voice calling us by name; calling us to serve, calling us to share, calling us to praise, so that we never give up on the promise of your kingdom, where the world is transformed, and all can enjoy life in all its fullness. Amen.

. . . In remembrance of all you have done to save us, we proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ was birthed among us. Christ was killed among us. Christ rises again among us. . . . We join together in echoing the prayer of Jesus: Our Father/Mother/God, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name Thy Kindom 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 trespassed against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kindom, the power, and the glory for ever. Amen. Prayers of the People Prayer after receiving
