WELCOME AND GREETING

LIGHTING OF CHRIST CANDLE

CALL TO WORSHIP
To know the warmth of love,
To have the assurance that someone cares,
To be confident of our worth,
To be bold to love in return,
To be washed over with grace,
To be accepted as we are:
This is to know a bit of God.
Then let us worship our God.
