WATCHNIGHT WORSHIP SERVICE

December 31, 2018

9:00 P.M.

ORDER OF WORSHIP

Welcome to Worship

 Gathering

(We gather in God’s Name and in these opening moments, let us centre our spirits on God.  Before the service, speak to God.  During the service, let God speak to you.  After the service, speak to others about the Good News.)

Theme:  Re-building the Temple of Faith

LITURGIST:

As we begin this time of worship at the end of 2018, we will spend time in quiet personal reflection and prayer.  This is the time for us to consecrate ourselves before God.  Our sight ministry will aid our reflection with songs of worship.  I invite you to sit quietly and speak to God.  This is your time, not for chatter but for introspection.  How do you come into this time of worship? What do you want to say to God to prepare you to hear from Him?  I will end this time of worship with the reading of a passage of scripture.

9:00 – 9:30 p.m.       Gathering and time of quiet reflection and prayer

(At the end of 30 minutes read, Psalm 51: 16,17)
