1 Hancock Covenant of Welcome We welcome all who seek to know God. We believe that, although we are many members, we are one body in Christ. We have been called as well as challenged by God to respect and reconcile our differences. We recognize and love each individual as a child of God. We welcome, respect, support, and lovingly encourage people of every race, ethnicity, creed, class, gender, sexual orientation, age, and physical and mental ability to join us on our journey of faith. This faith journey indeed calls Hancock Members not to be silent in the face of prejudice, injustice, and exclusion, but to express our faith, in word and deed, for justice and inclusiveness for all humanity. As Paul wrote to the Galatians, In Christ there is no longer Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for all are one.

2 Service of Worship Gathering Together To Praise God MOMENT FOR REFLECTION Merry Christmas to you all! On this Sunday a er Christmas we will look at the only story in the gospels between Jesus birth and the start of his ministry. It seems rather amazing that there could be a 30 year gap in Jesus life that we hear nothing about, but some mes it feels like life just moves that way, and it was no different for Jesus. Today we re going to imagine his teenage years, specifically involving this story, where he gets lost, and then is found right where you d expect him to be. PRELUDE CALL TO WORSHIP One: Rejoice, rejoice, for unto us a child is born. Many: Joy to the world, the Lord has come! One: Rejoice again, I say rejoice, for the child is born anew again today and every day. Many: Joy to the world, the Lord is with us! One: Rejoice again, I say rejoice, for the child is with us, who brings the good news. Many: Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to all people! *OPENING HYMN Angels, From the Realms of Glory #136 WORDS OF WELCOME Barbara Callaghan PRAYER OF INVOCATION David C.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into tempta on, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen. The Good News Is Proclaimed THE GOSPEL READING Luke 2:41-52 Barbara Callaghan Now every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the fes val of the Passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up as usual for the fes val. When the fes val was ended and they started to return, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it. Assuming that he was in the group of travelers, they went a day s journey. Then they started to look for him among their rela ves and friends. When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for him. A er three days they found him in the temple, si ng among the teachers, listening to them and asking them ques ons. And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. When his parents saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, Child, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I have been searching for you in great anxiety. He said to them, Why were you 10 ANNOUNCEMENTS 3

Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and in years, and in divine and human favor.
