Call to Worship:

We recount the gracious deeds of God,
all the praiseworthy acts the Lord has done for us:
            Praise God for coming to dwell among us, Immanuel.
Praise God for the good news of Jesus, the pioneer
of our salvation.
          Praise God for making us brothers and sisters in Christ.
Praise God who is present with us still, lifting us up
and carrying us.
          God’s glory shines in heaven and on earth.
          Praise the Lord!
