* HYMN Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee | No. 89 (v.1-4)

UNISON PRAYER Written by Rev. Arch Hawkins Mindie Moore People: Loving God, you are the one that always comes to us when we feel undeserving of your great love. As we come to you now, help us to hear again the covenant you made to Abraham; “I will be your God. Will you be my people?” At times we feel we are not worthy of being your people. But if we listen closely, the voice echoes across time and we hear the words you have spoken, “I am your God,” and we are comforted. Amen.
