This Week's Theme: "New Year's Day"
Liturgical Resources
Let us lift up the name of Jesus today; let us make our pledge and follow his star. Let us be
about the one who guides us, who finds us even when we are lost and gives us direction and hope.
Let our worship be full of songs of praise of the name of Jesus, and let our prayers be prayers of
commitment to follow.
