1 Fourth Sunday of Advent Saturday, December 22, :00 pm Sharing the Shepherd s Love With All of God s Children Welcome to Heritage Worship! Cradle and cross are inextricably connected on the fourth Sunday of Advent. Between a lovely tribute to the little town of Bethlehem and the Blessed Virgin Mary s magnificent song of praise, the letter to the Hebrews reminds us in no uncertain terms that Christ s advent is for the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. It is the kind of tension in which the church always lives as when in the Holy Communion with high delight we proclaim the Lord's death. Gathering The Holy Spirit calls us together as the people of God. PRELUDE On the altar are the Holy Communion kits which are taken to our people who, for a variety of reasons cannot attend worship, to help them share in our celebration of the Lord s Supper. WORDS OF WELCOME LIGTHING OF THE ADVENT CANDLES God our Savior, nothing is impossible for you. Prepare our hearts to rejoice in your glorious advent. Amen. ENTRANCE HYMN My Soul Proclaims Your Greatness Contact Good Shepherd at: (701) GoodShepherdBismarck.com GREETING The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. And also with you.

Amen. A TIME WITH CHILDREN Word God speaks to us in scripture reading, preaching, and song. OLD TESTAMENT READING Micah 5:2-5a Page 966 in the pew Bible The prophet Micah, having pronounced judgment upon Judah, speaks of a future shepherd-king who, like David, will come from the small town of Bethlehem. (Ephrathah refers to the area around Bethlehem.) This king will restore Israel and bring peace. New Testament writers understood this passage to be referring to Jesus. The Word of the Lord.
