THE CALL TO WORSHIP...... “Like a Child” Daniel Charles Damon...Chancel Choir
Like a child love would send, to reveal, and to mend, like a child and a friend, Jesus comes.
Like a child we may find claiming heart, soul, and mind, like a child strong and kind, Jesus comes.
Like a child we will meet, ragged clothes, dirty feet, like a child on the street, Jesus comes.
Like a child we once knew coming back into view, like a child born anew, Jesus comes.
Like a child born to pray and to show us the way, like a child here to stay, Jesus comes.
Like a child we receive, all that love can conceive, like a child we believe, Jesus comes.
*HYMN No. 246...... “Joy to the World”
*THE AFFIRMATION OF FAITH NO. 881
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
*THE GLORIA PATRI
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in
thebeginning, is now and ever shall be. World without end. Amen. Amen.
