2 Meriden United Methodist Church Third Sunday in Advent - Choir Cantata December 11, 2011 *Indicates those who are able, please stand. Please read aloud the bold face print. If you are a first time guest, we welcome you! WELCOMING GOD S PRESENT Bringing in the Light of Christ - Prelude *Call to Worship 1 L: I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my whole being shall exult in my God. P: For God has clothed me with the garments of salvation, and covered me with the robe of righteousness. Men: As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, Women: And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. L: For as the earth brings forth its shoots, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up. P: So the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations. L: Come, let us worship the God of righteousness and justice. P: Yes!! Let us worship God who is also the God of peace and mercy. *Song of Gathering FWS Pg Joy Comes with the Dawn LIGHTING THE ADVENT WREATH Confession Communal Prayer ALL: Most merciful God, as we gather to worship this morning, we must confess that our spiritual preparation for Christmas has not always been as serious as it should be. We can be very intense in shopping, wrapping presents, baking, and decorating our homes. Yet, at the same time, we can be lax and halfhearted in our spiritual preparation. Many of us must also confess to persistent and nagging doubts about your very existence and your love for us. Forgive us most merciful God. Strengthen us in our spiritual preparation for Christmas. Grant that this Advent and Christmas season will be a time for spiritual rejuvenation and renewal, in which we are reassured of your presence and your love for us. This we ask in the name of him whose birth we celebrate on Christmas Day, Amen. A Time for Silent, Individual Confession Words of Assurance L: Hear these words of assurance from the prophet Isaiah: 2 The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me; God has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners; to proclaim the year of the Lord s favor...to comfort all who mourn. In the name of Jesus, your sins are forgiven. P: In the name of Jesus, your sins are forgiven. Lighting the Third Advent Candle 3 *Epistle Reading 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 Lighting the Advent Wreath WE LIFT OUR PRAYERS TO GOD Announcements, Sharing of Joys and Concerns Morning Prayer (Beginning With a Time of Silence) Margie Payne Choir Advent Hymn (1st Verse Only) UMH Pg. 213 Lift Up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates Lord s Prayer (Unison) Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen. WE HEAR AND RESPOND TO THE WORD OF GOD Children s Time Dr. Randolph *Hymn of Reflection UMH Pg. 240 Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
3 ANNOUNCEMENTS Five Things We Need to do to Prepare for Christmas 1. Do as much as you can to serve and help others. 2. Set aside a time to pray daily that the Holy Spirit will move within your heart and help you prepare spiritually for Christmas. 3. Confess your sins and make a list of all that you for which to be thankful. 4. Repair a frayed or damaged or destroyed relationship. Ask for forgiveness. Tell your family and friends how much you love them. 5. Give up something for Advent.

Evelyn Fischer, Superintendent of our Topeka District, has authorized a special Charge Conference to be held on Sunday, December 18 th, immediately following the conclusion of our monthly Administrative Council meeting. The purpose of this special Charge Conference is threefold: 1) To receive the Nominations Report from the Lay Leadership Team and to elect church officers for the coming year. 2) To receive the Annual Reports of two Commissioned Lay Speakers, whose reports were not received at our regular Charge Conference at McLouth UMC on November 6th. 3) To receive an Addendum to the Pastor's Report in which Dr. Randolph will provide a statement "outlining the pastor's program of continuing education and spiritual growth for the past year and plans for the year to come." Rev. Fischer has designated Dr. Randolph to preside over this special Charge Conference in her absence. Christmas Caroling - Everyone is invited and encouraged to participate in the all-church Christmas Caroling extravaganza next Sunday, Dec. 18 th. We will meet at the church at 5 pm and do some caroling in Meriden and Topeka before concluding in Ozawkie. We have been invited to the home of the Schaeffer s for light refreshments at the end of the evening. Christmas caroling booklets and recorded music will be provided by Claudia Long. If you have questions, please call either Don and Janice at or Richard Randolph at Consider Supporting Youthville. - Youthville is a ministry of our Kansas East Annual Conference, which provides counseling and therapy services, foster care, and adoption services for Kansas youth. Unfortunately, this has been a very difficult year for Youthville, due to the severe financial constraints in the Kansas State budget, and they have been forced to consolidate their programs. Given their severe economic hardship during 2011, the Outreach Committee decided to request that a special offering be taken this Advent season to support this vital ministry of our Annual Conference. The bulletin today contains an informational insert and a special offering envelope for this purpose. Please prayerfully consider making a special contribution to this ministry. Thank you.
4 TODAY S SCRIPTURES 1 Thessalonians 5: Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise the words of prophets, 21 but test everything; hold fast to what is good; 22 abstain from every form of evil. 23 May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do this. John 1:6-8, There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. 8 He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light. 19 This is the testimony given by John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you? 20 He confessed and did not deny it, but confessed, I am not the Messiah. 21 And they asked him, What then? Are you Elijah? He said, I am not. Are you the prophet? He answered, No. 22 Then they said to him, Who are you? Let us have an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself? 23 He said, I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said. 24 Now they had been sent from the Pharisees. 25 They asked him, Why then are you baptizing if you are neither the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the prophet? 26 John answered them, I baptize with water. Among you stands one whom you do not know, 27 the one who is coming after me; I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandal. 28 This took place in Bethany across the Jordan where John was baptizing.
