CALL TO WORSHIP Pastor Dawne Phillips
Leader: We gather wondering, ‘Where will we find the Babe Born in
Bethlehem?’
People: We will find the Babe in the laughter of children, in the
wisdom of grandparents.
Leader: We gather asking, ‘Where will we find the Child of Christmas?’
People: We will find the Child where the needy are gifted with hope,
where the oppressed are set free.
Leader: We gather wanting to know, ‘Where will we find the Christ who
has come for us?’
All: We will find our Hope where fear is overwhelmed by grace,
Where hatred is overwhelmed by love,
Where darkness is overwhelmed by light,
Where suffering is overwhelmed by joy.
