Call to Worship – December 24, 2017

We gather in worship on the day before the day which brings the greatest joy and satisfaction to young children, the greatest stress to young parents, and the greatest nostalgia to old people. Christmas is upon us, and Advent is ending. We bow before the God who sent a helpless baby into a world which had prepared no room for him. We thank God for His gift, and praise Him for bringing us to Himself by means of that gift. Therefore, let us with Christmas confidence, worship God!

Who was Jesus? How do we see him? How did he see himself? There are only two biographical references to Jesus from his own time apart from the four Gospels.

Call to Worship – November 12, 2017

The Book of Ecclesiastes was written by a wise old man who had lived long and observed much. Today we shall be thinking about some of the themes raised by this outstanding biblical writer, especially about old age. Whether we think God is near to us or far away, He is always present, always caring, always loving. Therefore to Him we come in praise and worship, thanking Him for life, for its longevity, and for His blessings to us every step along the way. Let us, with the confidence of the aging, worship God.
