Welcome

Prelude

Opening of the Word

Call to WorshipThe hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the

Father in spirit and truth. God is Spirit and those who worship Him must

worship in spirit and truth.

Readings from the Word

Isaiah 60:2 Luke 2:10, 15-18

Reading from the Heavenly Doctrines

Apocalypse Explained 80"Fear not" signifies renewal of life; for all who come sudden-

this way that the Divine presence, and fear on account of it,

are accommodated to reception. The Lord is present, indeed,with all in the universe, but more nearly or remotely accord-

angel, spirit, and man; therefore the extent and quality of good

from the Lord with them are what determine the extent andquality of His presence; if the presence goes beyond this,

there is anguish and tremor; but by accommodation to recep-tion there is renewal of life. This renewal is what is signified

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in

Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive our sins,as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of

trial, and deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom, and

the Power, and the Glory, forever. Amen.

DoxologyTo Jesus Christ be glory given

By all on Earth and all in Heaven.

Let His dominion wide extend.His glorious Kingdom have no end.

Affirmation of FaithWe worship the One God, the Lord the Savior Jesus

Christ, Redeemer of the world, in whom is the Father, the Son

and the Holy Spirit; whose humanity is divine. He came into theworld and took our nature upon him. He endured temptation,

even to the Passion of the Cross. He overcame the hells, and so

delivered all. Without this, no mortal could have been saved;

and they are saved who believe in Him, and keep the command-ments of His Word. This is His commandment; that we love one
