Prayers 12 24 2012
*Welcome and Merry Christmas!
*Tonight, we have all 6 of our new church members who joined our church on Dec. 16 participating in the reading the lessons along with our Deacons
*The offering tonight will go to the Retired Ministers and Missionaries of the ABC who have served faithfully in life and may be in need of assistance
*Since we had a pot-luck supper before the service tonight, there won’t be a cookie reception following the service tonight so that you can rush home to wrap those last minute gifts
*This Sunday, Dec. 30th is Sunday worship at the regular times of 9:00, 10:20 and 11:30. But on Jan. 6 in the New Year, we’ll begin our new Sunday morning schedule; look out for a detailed schedule available this Sunday
Benediction
We have waited, but soon we will wait no longer.
The celebration of the birth of Christ is upon us.
May your time with friends and family be sweet.
May the memories you make be unforgettable.
These are the moments when we see Christ. Do not miss him. Do not forget him.
Welcome him into your homes and lives as you eat and drink and give gifts.
As you leave here tonight, go in joy. Go in hope. Go in peace. Amen.
