* Call to Worship (responsively) O come, let us worship the Lord and consider what wondrous things God has done: The Magi who study the heavens follow a guiding star! O come, let us worship the Lord and consider what wondrous things God has done: The peoples who live in the shadows see a glorious light! O come, let us worship the Lord and consider what wondrous things God has done: The Christ who embodies the Word unveils the hidden plan, making us joint heirs of the promise of salvation through the gospel! O come, let us worship the Lord, for God has done wondrous things! *Hymn No. 254 We Three Kings Prayer of Approach (in unison)
Light of Christ, awaken us this hour to the glory of your presence in our midst. Shine among us in such a way that the darkness without and within may be pushed back, such
that we might truly see what is really real. Help us to recognize our sin for what it is. Enable us to behold the world as you created it to be, as you created us to be. Empower us to move from darkness to light, from sin to new life. May your light within us shine through into worship this day, and every day. This we pray in the name of the Word made flesh, the light which is the light of all people, Jesus Christ. Amen.

*Affirmation of Faith No. 881 Apostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
