Welcome & Announcements

*Call to Worship (Responsive) [From Psalm 78]

Leader: O my people, hear my teachings; listen to the words of my mouth. I will utter hidden things, things from of old – what we have heard and known, what our fathers have told us.

People: We will not hide them from our children; we will tell them to the next generation – the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.

Leader: He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children,

People: So the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.

Leader: Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commandments.

People: We will serve the Lord!

Leader: Praise be to God!

GET INTO THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT: The traditional Hanging of the Greens will look a bit different this year. Due to COVID, we anticipate a smaller crew to assist with decorating at 5:00 p.m. but hope some will feel comfortable doing this. Masks and maintaining a 6-foot distance is encouraged whenever possible. Please use your own discretion/comfort level with this event.

At approximately 6:00 p.m. a Christmas hymn sing will be held to enjoy the lighted decorations in the same manner as Sunday morning services. The Session has decided there will NOT be a meal or kid's craft time this year.
