Prelude Adagio in G Minor Tomaso Albinoni
Greeting
Leader: And this is the judgment, that light came into the world, and we loved darkness rather than light.
People: God is light, in whom there is no darkness at all.
Leader: For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.
People: Everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light. But all who do what is true come to the light.
Leader: Come; let us worship in spirit and truth.
