Liturgy for wherever you are

First Sunday of Christmas: December 29, 2024

Lessons + Carols

welcome to WORSHIP

Liturgy is an ancient word for worship that is usually translated as “the work of the people.” You’ll hear the voices of our pastoral staff and our community each week, and we are so grateful that this is the work we get to do together. We prayerfully plan our worship services trusting that the Spirit will use each element to shape us and our desires as we pursue the path of Christ. To listen to previous liturgies, you can visit our Soundcloud page below to browse the archives.

Listening to the Livestream

A little before 10:30 AM you should see a play button (circle with a triangle in it) appear in the box below. Press that play button when it appears, and you should be able to hear the service live! We always start the livestream a few minutes before the service begins, so you may hear some chatter or worship music playing at first. Know that you are with us in Spirit as you worship from wherever you are.

If you come to this page after Sunday worship but before the recorded sermon is posted in its entirety, please come back again! The full recording is posted by noon on Tuesday.

You Carried Me

Will Reagan | United Pursuit

Holy, God of our faith
You are welcome in this place
You are welcome in this place

Come fill our hearts up
Come fill our hearts up
With Your presence
Sweet Lord, sustain us

You carry me
You carry me on the wings of love

Credits

What a wonderful group of friends we had for this week’s service! Lindsay welcomed us, and she and Chip invited us into a communal practice of gratitude. Saskia called us into worship. John Jay’s mentor, George, led us in communal prayer. Bea read scripture. John Jay provided us with a teaching and offered up the benediction. ___ invited us into a time of generosity through our offering. Our musicians this morning were Leslie, John Jay, Chris M, Tilli, Sam, Rick and Chris T. Shawn and Michael reminded us of the different ways we are invited to participate in communal life together. Leslie oversaw the production while Steph worked their technical magic to mix this special collaborative worship experience.

Much love from your church family at FBC Pasadena.
