*Opening Prayer
Ashley Oliver
Patient and loving God, we so easily launch ourselves in preparation for
the secular festival of giving and parties and the swirl of social events, but
we forget that the true preparation is the readiness of our hearts to
receive you. Help us look again at our lives and turn them around so that
they may be in tune with your will. We ask this in Jesus Name. Amen.
