Wherever you are, whoever you are, Join us in our Journey!
WE GATHER TO PRAISE GOD TO PONDER:
Do you find sometimes that there is just too much going on - too much going
on in your life, too much going on in the world? Just too much!
You want to go into your happy place where there is just you, your pet,
your family and friends, a cozy fire, a refreshing drink, kick back and not
even watch the world go by, just let it go by? There is a Danish word for
that - it's called Hygge - but God offers a better way for handling all the
stuff of life that comes our way, that is thrown our way. Three simple
words - Look to me.

A PRAYER OF APPROACH
SUNG RESPONSE:
Search me, O God, and know my heart today,
Try me, O Saviour, know my thoughts, I pray;
See if there be some brokenness in me;
Cleanse me from every wrong, and set me free.

We light the Christ Candle to remind us that if we keep our focus on
Jesus, and fully trust him, then we have no need to fear what lies
ahead of us in this life. For God holds us in the very palm of his hand
ANTHEM
WE HEAR GOD'S LOVING WORD FOR US
MESSAGE: "Christian Hygge"
HYMN: "The Solid Rock"
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus' name
Chorus
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
When darkness veils His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In ev'ry high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
Chorus
His oath His covenant His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay
Chorus
When He shall come with trumpet sound
O may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne
Lord, Listen To Your Children Praying
Lord, listen to your children praying,
Lord, send your Spirit in this place,
Lord, listen to your children praying,
Send us love, send us power, send us grace
PASTORAL PRAYER
And we continue to pray as Jesus taught us saying…
Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we
forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For yours is the kingdom,and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever. Amen.
