Sunday's Bulletin

Holy One, you come among us not in power but in vulnerability, not in domination but in tenderness. Open our hearts to the surprising ways you dwell with us. Make us bold in compassion, courageous in truth‑telling, and joyful in hope, that we may reflect your light in a world longing for healing. Amen....

On this holy night, we confess our need for God’s mercy. Loving God, we confess that we have turned from your ways and ignored the cries of the vulnerable. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may walk in your light and share your love with the world. Amen....

PRAYER: Stir up your power, O Lord, and come. Take away the hindrance of our sins and make us ready for the celebration of your birth, that we may receive you in joy and serve you always; for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen...

PRAYER: Lord, hear our prayers and come to us, bringing light into the darkness of our hearts; for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen...

PRAYER: Stir up our hearts, O Lord, to prepare the way for your only Son. By his coming give us strength in our conflicts and shed light on our path through the darkness of this world; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen...
