SUMMARY SENTENCE
When Jesus came into the world he was no stranger to us.
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for the gift of the incarnation -- coming to live among us. You came to set things right and restore our relationship with you. Yet, we sing Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, believing we can create joy and lift ourselves out of the meaningless lives we've developed for ourselves. Help us to focus on what really matters. I'm going to sing Joy to the World. Amen.
THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
