Kimberley’s Korner & Worship Intro
Greetings & Welcome
Lighting of the Christ Candle
We light this candle to remember and celebrate
the light of Christ within and among us.
Praise be to God, who gave us this light of the world,
whom He sent to live among us, and to teach us His way. Amen.
~The Christ Candle is Lit~
Call to Worship
Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth!
Serve the LORD with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the LORD, He is God!
It is He who made us, and we are His;
we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise!
Give thanks to Him; bless His name!
For the LORD is good; His steadfast love endures forever,
and is faithfulness to all generations.
Passing of Peace
May the peace of Christ be with you.
And also, with you.
Let us offer one another the peace of Christ.

Offering Dedication
Gracious and holy God, accept what we offer today:
our cheques and cash, our faltering steps

Bless and transform all that we offer
and all that we hold back, that new life may be ours,
to celebrate and share in Jesus’ name. Amen
Benediction
