1 December 2, 9 & 23, 2012 [ÉÑx Sundays of Advent _Éäx cxtvx ]Éç Welcome Visitors! We re glad you are with us today. Please sign in on the YES! Sheet and pass it to the center aisle. If you would like to request a prayer to be read during worship, write it on the back. An usher will pick it up during the Hymn of the Day. Embracing the diversity of God s creation and celebrating our oneness in Christ. Good Shepherd Lutheran Church 611 Randolph Oak Park, Illinois churchoffice@goodshepherdlc.org

2 Holy Communion ELW=red book hymnal Please stand as you are able Congregation responses are bold After worship today, please drop your bulletin in the basket at the back of the sanctuary so it may be used again for upcoming Sundays. Gathering Prelude Confession and Forgiveness (All may make the sign of the cross, the sign that is marked at baptism, as the presiding minister begins.) 2 In this Advent time of waiting and watching, the words of the angel Gabriel break into our world: "Greetings! The Lord is with you. Do not fear, for nothing will be impossible with God." Will we respond with Mary to the angel's message? "Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word." Will we join with Elizabeth to greet the mother of our Lord: "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb." Or will we be like the many innkeepers in Bethlehem who said that we don t have room, don t have time or can t be bothered. Will we make excuses like Zachariah who said, It is impossible, we are too old. (silence for reflection) God, we are not all as brave as Mary was. Often we hear your words of invitation and are too afraid to take your gift. We would have to give up so much in order to receive it. We cannot understand how anyone would want to follow such an uncertain path. We seek your blessings, God, but we also seek your understanding, hope and peace. Life is a balancing act between faith and fear. Even as we choose fear the Christ child enters our world. We are not condemned, but forgiven. We do not remain on the outside, but are drawn closer by grace. Hope, peace, joy and love come to us + Immanuel, God with us.

3 Entrance Hymn O Come, O Come, Emmanuel ELW 257 December 2 verses 1, 3, 5 December 9 verses 1, 4, 6 December 23 verses 1, 2, 7 Greeting Presiding Minister: From the one who was, who is, and who is to come: Grace and peace be with you all. And also with you. Light Advent Candle (Melody: Away in a Manger) December 2 In darkness enshrouded, the world waits for light To shatter the shadowy darkness of night. To greenery circled, the faithful draw near And longingly listen, God's message to hear. Send out your light and your truth, O Lord; let them be our guide. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And God said, "Let there be light!" Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Did not our hearts burn within us while he spoke to us and opened the Scriptures for us? "Let the prophet who has my word speak my word faithfully," says the Lord. "Is not my word a fire?" December 9 One candle is burning--through darkness shines light, As prophets were yearning for God's holy might. To people in darkness came promises new-- The promise of Jesus is faithful and true. Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples. But the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will appear over you. Jesus Christ is the light of the world, the light no darkness can overcome. Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

4 December 23 Oh, keep us, Lord Jesus, in your mighty care As for your arrival your people prepare. The flames for the faithful, Lord, let them burn bright, That hearts of all people in faith may ignite. Jesus Christ is the light of the world, the light no darkness can overcome. So we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed. You will do well to be attentive to this, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the daystar rises in our hearts. Prayer of the Day Presiding minister leads the prayer of the day: Let us pray Word First Reading Word of God, word of life. Thanks be to God. Psalm Second Reading Word of God, word of life.

6 Sermon (December 2 & 23) Pastor Kathy Nolte (December 9) Rev Karl Reko Creed Presiding Minister: With the whole church, let us confess our faith: We believe in God, creator and lover of the earth, origin and destiny of us all. empowers us to confront and transform all that is corrupt, degrading and deceitful. We believe in Jesus Christ God coming to us in the fragile promise of a baby yet unborn who emerges as the herald of hope, God s laughter in the face of despair. Plunged into death and hell, he broke free the captives, and is leading the way to the land of promise where justice and peace will flourish. We believe in the Holy Spirit, who implants the seed of truth, brings us to birth as the body of Christ, and We believe in the coming reign of God. Announced by the Baptist, it has drawn near to us in Jesus, and will be consummated in the glorious marriage of earth and heaven, when all who have passed through the world s deep sorrow will be raised from the waters, robed in righteousness, and gathered into the joyous fulfillment of God s desire. For the coming of that day on this day, we work and pray: Come, Lord Jesus, Come! Prayers of Intercession Peace The peace of Christ be with you always. And also with you. Meal Offering (Gifts are gathered as the table is prepared. A musical offering is shared.) 6

8 Dialogue (Presiding minister greets the assembly and invites all present to give thanks.) Preface Presiding Minister: It is our duty... and join their unending hymn: Holy, Holy 8

9 Eucharistic Prayer Presiding Minister: Holy God, the Beginning and the End Almighty Father, with the Holy Spirit, in your holy Church, both now and forever. Amen. Lord s Prayer Presiding Minister: Gathered into one by the Holy Spirit, let us pray as Jesus taught us: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen. 9
