New
Year’s Eve
December
31, 2005
****************************************************************************
Good evening and Happy New Year! It is most appropriate that we gather here in prayer for God’s guidance and protection as we enter the year 2006. We are comforted tonight, and every night, with the knowledge of God’s providence, that God is present among us and still cares for His creation.
****************************************************************************
Opening
Hymn:
#110 “Across the Sky the
Shades of Night”
Introit Psalm - (Taken from Psalm 20)
P: May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;
C: May the name of the God
of Jacob protect you.
P: May He send you help from the sanctuary;
C: And grant you support
from Zion.
P: May He give you the desire of your heart;
C: And make all your plans
succeed.
P: We will shout for joy when You are victorious;
C: And will lift up our
banners in the name of our God.
P: Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed;
C: He answers him from His
holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.
P: Some trust in chariots and some in horses;
C: But we trust in the name
of the Lord our God.
