John 14:6 Worship: Sunday at 12 Noon With Child Care and Sunday School Dorotheergasse 16, 1010 Vienna We are a Bible-based, English-speaking, international, interdenominational, ecumenical, friendly and welcoming community. Pastor: Dr. Gábor Lassu

He guides me along the right paths for his name s sake.

2 Bible Reading Psalm 23 A psalm of David. 1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

3 1 Peter 5:7-8 New International Version (NIV) 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Sermon Notes

Call to Worship Pastor: The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Those who lived in a land of deep darkness - on them light has shined. All: Come, let us worship the God, Whose light brings hope to the world.! Opening Hymn Good Christian Friends, Rejoice #161! Prayer of Confession (Unison) Lord of Christmas Peace, we have done wrong. We have buried you so deeply in our hearts, the world doesn't see you. We have not followed Christ, we have ignored your teachings, we have lived lives of apathy against your love. We have built fences and fortresses to push people away, and we have silenced the screams of those in need. Forgive us, we pray. Free us from our sin, Free us from our captivity, Free us to a life lived in joy through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.! Declaration of Forgiveness Pastor: Hear, then, the good news of the Gospel: People: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven!! Passing the Peace Pastor: The Peace of the Lord be with you all.
