Home Worship for

Sunday, January 9, 2022

Our Home Worship service is much like our in-person service. As you prayerfully journey through Home Worship, we hope it is meaningful for you. 


Staying home is a form of loving your neighbor. You may be staying home for your own health but in reality you then become less of a carrier to others that you might come in contact with. If you are not comfortable attending socially distanced activities, please stay home and stay in touch! We hope you will feel close to God who is near even if we are far apart. May God Bless you and Keep you.

Call to Worship: 

Prepare the Way

One: A voice crying out in the wilderness: 

All: "Prepare the way for the Lord

One: Make his paths straight. 

All: Every valley will be filled, 

One: and every mountain and hill will be leveled. 

All: The crooked will be made straight

One: and the rough places made smooth. 

All: All humanity will see God's salvation.”

Opening Hymn: Since Jesus Came Into My Heart TFWS #2140

Prayer: The Baptism of Our Lord

Father in heaven, 

At the baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan

You proclaimed him your beloved Son

And anointed him with the Holy Spirit.

Grant that all who are baptized into his name

May keep the covenant they have made,

And boldly confess him as Lord and Savior,

Who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns,

One God, in glory everlasting.

Amen.

Sermon: Prepare the Way

A sermon based on Luke 3:2-15 about John the Baptist preparing the way for Jesus' ministry.

Closing Blessing

God be in your head, and in your understanding.

God be in your eyes, and in your looking.

God be in your mouth, and in your speaking.

God be in your heart, and in your thinking.

God be at your end, and at your departing.

(SARUM LITURGY, ENGLAND, 13TH CENT., ALT.)
