+ Morning Prayer
God of All Time, we come to worship this morning hoping for a moment of stillness and breath where we may rest in your presence. Silence our minds from all that would distract us. Help us to rest in the gentleness of your Spirit. Allow all that would pull us from this sacred time and space to fall away. Awaken us, God, to your amazing Love which is ever with us. Amen

Text: Sally Howell Johnson
From the Ancient Breath of WisdomWe, God’s people now have come.To embody what was spokenTo give life to what was begun.Clothed in garments of holy boldness,Here we stand on sacred ground.God’s own image now unfoldedIn the glory of sight and sound.
Here we bring our lives of passion.Here we bring our voice of prayer.In this place we speak your PresenceBy the stories that we share.Make us truthful in our tellingFilled with caring, held in hope.As we claim your faithful promiseBlessed on Earth as signs of Love.
In communion now we gatherChrist’s own body we become.Women bring your gifts for living;Men embrace this place, our home.Children teach us by example,Simple joy and playful soul.As we celebrate God’s kindomGracious Spirit, make us whole.
the lighting of the first advent Candle Kowalczyk Family
We light this first candle to begin the season of Advent. We begin the journey toward Christmas, the celebration of God’s presence born into human form. We ready ourselves to welcome the Christ Child.
Let it be, God, that this will be a time of preparing for the Light that comes into the world. Within our hearts be born this day.

We Respond to the WordresPonding With our tithes, our offerings & ourselves
Whose Birthday Is It, Anyway? As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus, we encourage you to set a budget for your family giving–and then to match your giving with a birthday gift to Jesus! This year, 100% of your Christmas Offering will go directly to our Outreach Ministries. Each Sunday during Advent, you will be inspired by stories of how our outreach dollars really change lives for the better–not just at Christmas, but all year long–as we give generously
to heal a broken world.

Your life is a Sacred Journey – and it is about change,
growth, discovery, movement, transformation,
continuously expanding your vision of what is possible,
stretching your soul, learning to see clearly & deeply,
listening to your intuition, taking courageous risks, embracing
challenges at every step along the way.
You are on the path – exactly where
you’re meant to be right now...and from here,
you can only go forward, shaping your life story
into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing, of courage,
beauty, wisdom, power, dignity & love.
