Opening Prayer                            

Call to Worship* (Responsively)   

From the east and from the west, we come to praise God! 

Today we celebrate the ways God is at work in our world.

God crowns the year with good blessings!
And today we gather to praise God, Creator and Sustainer of life! Amen.

“Come, Now is the Time to Worship”

Come, now is the time to worship Come, now is the time to give your heart Come, just as you are to worship Come, just as you are before your God Come!

One day every tongue will confess You are God

One day every knee will bow

Still the greatest treasure remains for those Who gladly choose you now (Repeat top lines)

“All the People Said Amen”

“In Christ Alone”                             

“O God, You Are My God” 

Oh God, you are my God

And I will ever praise you.

Oh God, you are my God

And I will ever praise you.

I will seek you in the morning

And I will learn to walk in your ways,

And step by step you'll lead me

And I will follow you all of my days.

(Repeat all the above.)

Ending:

And I will follow you all of my days

And I will follow you all of my days

And step by step you'll lead me

And I will follow you all of my days.

Benediction*

Sending Forth                                         “As We Go”

As we go, may your Spirit go before us.

As we go, may we follow where You lead.
May we live what we have learned,
Share the message we have heard,
And be a light unto the world as we go

*Please stand as you are able

Martin Luther’s emphasis on grace alone and faith alone was a revolutionary concept that challenged the prevailing Christian belief that good works could earn salvation. His teachings laid the foundation for the Reformation and the subsequent development of Protestant Christianity.
