A candle is burning, a candle of joy, A candle to welcome brave Mary's new boy. Our hearts fill with wonder, and eyes light and glow, As joy brightens winter like sunshine on snow. OPENING PRAYER Dear God, we thank You for your Gift of Love in Jesus! As the shepherds came in joy and found the Savior or the World, so we come today in joy to receive Your Gift of Love so we can pass that joyous Gift on to those around us! Amen! CALL to WORSHIP responsively ~from Isaiah 40:3-5 The Promised One of God brings good news to the oppressed and binds up the brokenhearted! We are witnesses to the light of Christ! The Promised One of God proclaims liberty to captives and release to prisoners. We are witnesses to the light of Christ! The Promised One of God comforts all who mourn and gives a mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit. Rejoicing always, praying without ceasing, holding fast to what is good, we are witnesses to the light of Christ! ADVENT HYMN O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, PH 9 CONFESSION and time of Self-examination responsively ~from Isaiah 61, 1 Thessalonians 5 & John 3 Merciful God, you love justice; 2

3 why, then, do we persist in wrongdoing You have given us the gift of your Spirit; why, then, do we quench the Spirit among us? You have given us the words of the prophets and the Word himself; why, then, do we despise and ignore what we have heard from you? You have sent the light into the world; why, then, have we loved darkness rather than light? Forgive us. Restore us. Till and tend us as your garden until righteousness and praise spring up, for the sake of Jesus Messiah, in whose name we pray Hear now our personal confessions SILENT PRAYER of CONFESSION And all of God s children say: Amen! SUNG RESPONSE My Soul in Stillness Waits, GtG 89, v.2 GLORIA PATRI PASSING the PEACE of CHRIST May the Peace of Christ be with you! And also with you!

This week is the Shepherds. Miss Jane The CHORAL ANTHEM Jesus Is the Song Words and Music by David Danner Arranged by Mary McDonald 3

4 My Savior is the Lord and King, He has control of ev rything, He loves me, and He bids me sing, He gives His song to me. He calms my hurts and dries my tears, He gives me strength to face my fears, He sends His grace through all my years, He gives His song to me. Jesus is the song of life, Jesus is the song of joy, Jesus is the song of love; Jesus gives His song to me. My Savior, Jesus, I ll adore, My weary soul He will restore, I ll praise His name forevermore, He ll give His song to me. He is the song of life, He is the song of joy, He is the song of love! Jesus is the song of life, Jesus is the song of joy, Jesus is the song of love; Jesus gives His song, Jesus gives His song, Jesus gives His song to me. Jesus is the song, Jesus is the song! SCRIPTURE 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 ~from The Message translation 16 Be cheerful no matter what; 17 pray all the time; 18 thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you, who belong to Christ Jesus, to live. 19 Don t suppress the Spirit, 20 and don t stifle those who have a word from the Master. 21 On the other hand, don t be gullible. Check out everything, and keep only what s good. 22 Throw out anything tainted with evil. 23 May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together spirit, soul, and body and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ. 24 The One who called you is completely dependable. If he said it, he ll do it! The Word of God Thanks be to God! 4
