Welcome to you.

Invocation

                 Holy Spirit, Lord be with us,
                 As we join to give You praise.

                 Fill us with Your perfect ways.

                 Let our love for You be pleasing,
                 Everlasting, pure and free;

JOY TO THE WORLD - by Isaac Watts, 1719 - Public Domain

   
    Joy to the world! The Lord is come;
    Let earth receive her King.
    Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room,
    And heav'n and nature sing.
    
    Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns;
    Let men their songs employ;
    While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
    Repeat the sounding joy.

    No more let sins and sorrows grow,
    Nor thorns infest the ground;
    He comes to make His blessings flow
    Far as the curse is found.    

    He rules the world with truth and grace,
    And makes the nations prove
    The glories of His righteousness,
    And wonders of His love.

     For unto us a child is born,

     The Prince of Peace.

Benediction

                  I pray the Lord that He will lead your path
                  Away from the temptations all around.
                  I pray that when temptation lingers near,
                  The Lord will lead you not into its reach.
                  But if temptation grabs you as you pass,
                  I pray the Lord that you will struggle free.
                  In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.
         

Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord.
