Our little pantry at Sparks of Hope is nearly empty, and our shelves are bare. Members of our recovery community rely on your generosity to see them through the hard times. Please drop off nonperishable groceries when Sparks is open, or leave them inside the pantry.
The Church office is glad to announce that services going forward will be streamed via YouTube Live, in addition to the current Facebook Live services. You can access the Youtube live stream on our Youtube Channel, or directly on our church website homepage.

ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP
We have welcomed the Christ child and declared the glory of God’s salvation that comes to live among us. And yet, still, we wait.
We watch and work for God’s kin-dom on earth as it is in heaven.
We prepare to welcome a new year, thankful for how God has brought us through the past year and anxious to discover what the new year might bring.
We watch and work for God’s kin-dom on earth as it is in heaven.
We join generations of Simeons and Annas who learned and taught us how to listen, notice, and discern divine love at work in the world.
We watch and work for God’s kin-dom on earth as it is in heaven.
Come, let us worship God, whose love endures from generation to generation, guiding us from one year to the next.
Come, let us worship
as we live in anticipation of God’s kin-dom on earth as it is heaven. Amen.
OPENING MUSIC: “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing” #240 UMH
OPENING PRAYER: Lord, we bring to you this night our past, with all that has happened in our lives, our hopes and our dreams, our successes and our failures, our gains and our losses. We bring to you our present, lives filled with exhaustion, wonder, fear, and concern. We come to you with hearts open to receive your word for us, for the future. We want to be part of your new heaven and earth, to serve you by serving others. Speak to us, heal us, teach us, lead us, for we ask these things in Jesus' Name. AMEN.

GREAT THANKSGIVING
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them up to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give our thanks and praise.
...And so, with your people on earth and all the company of heaven
we praise your name and join their unending hymn:
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
...And so, in remembrance of these your mighty acts in Jesus Christ,
we offer ourselves in praise and thanksgiving
as a holy and living sacrifice, in union with Christ's offering for us,
as we proclaim the mystery of faith.
Christ has died; Christ is risen; Christ will come again.
...Through your Son Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit in your holy Church,
all honor and glory is yours, almighty Father (God ), now and for ever. Amen.
