Come and behold him, born the King of angels;

Unison Invocation
Eternal God,
We know that you do not exist to answer our prayers.
Please forgive us when we act differently.
But we are needy people. Needy for you.
Inspire us with the fire of your Spirit
to join in the transforming work of Jesus.
We ask this in his name.
Amen.

Old Testament Reading - Genesis 1:1-5

Prayers of the People

Hymn - On Jordan’s Stormy Banks UMH #724
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
and cast a wishful eye
to Canaan's fair and happy land,
where my possessions lie.

Refrain:
I am bound for the promised land,
I am bound for the promised land;
oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.

No chilling winds or poisonous breath
can reach that healthful shore;
sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
are felt and feared no more. [Refrain]

When I shall reach that happy place,
I'll be forever blest,
for I shall see my Father's face,
and in his bosom rest. [Refrain]

Message - “They Invited Him” Acts 19:1-7

Commitment Hymn - Amazing Grace UMH #378

Benediction
May the peace of the Lord Jesus go with you
wherever he may send you.
May he guide you through the wilderness,
protect you through the storm.
May he bring you home rejoicing
at the wonders he has shown you.
May he bring you home rejoicing once again into our doors.

Postlude - Wade in the Water arranged by Dan Fox
