Lord, today we turn our attention away from ourselves and towards the world for which you gave your life. We are grateful for the gifts you give us, gifts such as people, skills, friendships, faith, materials, and money, because those gifts help us serve others in your name. Forgive us when we focus too much on ourselves to hear your call to serve others, for we ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

From the Cradle to the Cross and All That We’re Taught - Combined Service
December 26, 2021 • Rev. Becky Holland • Matthew 5:1–12
Jesus – we are amazed by your grace. Through you, all things were made, and in all things, we can discern your presence. Yet, you faced rejection, betrayal, and persecution from the moment of your birth, to your sacrifice on the cross, to this present day. You taught, healed, and went about doing good, and you accomplished the impossible. Forgive us when we forget the child in the cradle is the Lord of all the earth. May we be ready to welcome you as the Lord of our lives. Amen.
