WELCOME TO WORSHIP!
Gathering
Prelude – "Festal March”
Meditation Thought for Worship: God is always at work in the world—rescuing those who are lost, strengthening those who are tired, and rebuilding what is broken. If we can recognize what God is doing and join in by following the example of Jesus, that is how we become truly blessed. But first we have to get ready by preparing ourselves to do that work and walk that way of Jesus. That preparation is what the season of Advent is for.
