* Call to Worship (Responsive)  
L: Who are we, Lord God, that you should come to us?
P: YET YOU HAVE VISITED YOUR PEOPLE AND REDEEMED US IN YOUR SON.
L: As we celebrate his birth, may our hearts leap for joy at your word,
P: AND MOVE US BY YOUR SPIRIT TO PRAISE YOUR WONDERFUL WORKS.

* Opening Hymn O God, Our Help In Ages Past  Hymn #687 (vs 1,2,3,6)

Prayer of Confession (Unison)  
Gracious God, you sent a star to guide men to the holy child Jesus: we confess that we have not followed the light of your word. We have not searched for signs of your love in the world or trusted good news to be good. We have failed to share the good news of your Son

(A moment for silent reflection)  

Assurance of Forgiveness  
If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just; God will forgive our sins and cleanse us from every unrighteousness. Anyone who believes in Jesus has become a new person altogether ÈÞ

Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
