Hope for the New Year - New Year's Eve Worship Service
December 31, 2023 • Rev. Tommy Markham • Psalm 139:1–18
Forgive us, Lord when we fail to see the signs of hope all around us. Forgive us when we dwell on things that put ourselves and others down. Forgive us when our moods drown out the joy of our salvation. You have assured us that Your righteousness is available through the joy of Jesus in our hearts. Drive the darkness away with the presence of Jesus. Amen.

night we light all the candles. The first candle is the hope shining for those worn thin by times of waiting. The second candle is the hope shining for those worn down with wearied souls. The third candle captures the hopeful expectation of those eagerly watching for God’s glory in our day. The fourth candle is the hope of a new tomorrow shining for those seeking freedom from the wounds of this world. Tonight, we light the Christ candle. This candle radiates the hope of Jesus Christ to all who are willing to receive it.

Make Me a Present! - Christmas Eve Service of Lessons and Carols
December 24, 2023 • Rev. Brian Sixbey
Advent is a time to bind up the broken hearted.
Come, Lord, and make all things new.
For past wrongs that prevent us from moving forward:
Come, Lord, and make all things new.
For any bitterness that scratches our soul:
Come, Lord, and make all things new.
For relationships left in decay and neglect:
Come, Lord, and make all things new.
For any action that has wounded us or by which we have wounded others:
Grant that we might have the peace of Christ as we wait, the love of
Christ as we act, and the grace of Christ as we speak.

Grant your steadfast patience.
For those waiting in the face of uncertainty:
Grant unshakable confidence in your sovereign provision.
For those waiting for justice and mercy to reign:
Grant a glimpse of your glory in our wounded world.
For all of us waiting for God’s kingdom to come:
Grant that we might have the peace of Christ as we wait, the love of Christ
as we act, and the grace of Christ as we speak.
