Welcome and Intimations
\nCall to Worship
\n<\/strong>(<\/em><\/strong>Please join in the words written in brackets)<\/strong>.
\n<\/em>With joy this day we anticipate the One who is coming.
\n(The one we call the Word! The one we call the Light.)
\n<\/strong>Like John the Baptist, we are not the light. In our worship, we testify to the light.
\n(Our testimony is prayer and praise, song and scripture.)
\n<\/strong>Our testimony is preaching and teaching, learning, and serving.
\n(May our testimony be a sweet sound in your ear, O God.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>Holy God of Joy,
\nWe rejoice in the reality of who you are. We live within the joy of your love for us.
\nOur contentment comes and goes.
\nOur happiness ebbs and flows.
\nOur feelings depend upon our circumstances, our physical health, our brain chemistry.
\nBut our\u00a0joy<\/em> is deeply rooted\u00a0in our identity as your beloved children.
\nAnd we give you thanks.
\nAmen.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n
