Operation Christmas Child Video (8:30)

Chiming of the Trinity Rev. Jane Martin

Prelude "Holy, Holy, Holy" arr. Anderson Mimosa Brass

*Call to Worship Dr. Kevin Head

Leader: As the people of God, we acknowledge that we live in a time of brokenness...fractured relationships pervade our lives. Our relationships are splintered with God, each other, and even ourselves.

People: Mend our brokenness, Lord. We need to hear a word from you.

Leader: Jesus reminds us to 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'

People: We proclaim that we love You, O Lord, but we must admit that we don't love You as we should. Forgive us when we fall short of Your glory.

Leader: Jesus also reminds us to 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' We say we love our neighbors, but then, in the same breath, we speak ill of them and mistreat them, and, if we are honest, sometimes we don't even love ourselves very well.

People: Forgive us when we fail you, our neighbors, and ourselves.

Leader: Together, let us renew our commitment to love you and the world, and to work towards wholeness and restoration.

ALL: We, the people of God at First Baptist Roswell commit this day to lift high the cross, to hold Your Christ-light for our neighbors, and to speak and be the peace the world longs to hear. Amen

Choral Anthem arr. Pote"God Is Our Refuge and Strength"

Chancel Choir; Ben Dubose and Craig Sprinkle, Trumpets

God is our refuge and strength; a present help in time of troublethough the mountains shake in the heart of the sea,though the waters roar and foam, we will not fear.

Come and behold the work of the Lord, the awesome acts of God.He is in the midst of his people, He is our God in all the earth.

He is the word, we are His hands, He will lead us.He is the air, we are His song, we will celebrate His presence all the day long.

He is the rain, we are the stones, He will cleanse us.He is the air, we are His song, we will celebrate His presence all the day long.

Congregational Response "The Servant Song"

I will weep when you are weeping, when you laugh, I’ll laugh with you;I will share your joy and sorrow, Till we’ve seen this journey through.

When we sing to God in heaven we will find such harmony,Born of all we’ve known together of Christ’s love and agony.

Postlude "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" arr. InnesRev. Martin, Organ
