10 OPENING CLOSING #196 Come Thou Long Expected Jesus 1.Come, thou long-expected Jesus, born to set thy people free; from our fears and sins release us, let us find our rest in thee. Israel's strength and consolation, hope of all the earth thou art; dear desire of every nation, joy of every longing heart. 2.Born thy people to deliver, born a child and yet a King, born to reign in us forever, now thy gracious kingdom bring.

11 OPENING CLOSING * *Josh, Allyson, Prudence, and James Claybourn Reader 1: God of Love, you created the universe and all that is in it. You created all things and called them good. Reader 2: God of Love, you wove into life a beautiful diversity from your infinite palette of creativity. All the creatures that walk or swim, crawl or fly sing praises to you. We, God s people, affirm the creation of all things in love, saying with the psalmist: God s salvation is very close to those who honor God so that God s glory can live in our land. Faithful love and truth have met; righteousness and peace have kissed. (Psalm 85:9-10, CEB) Reader:On this second Sunday of Advent, we light this candle to remind us that the God of Creation calls us home to love all that we meet. (Light two candles) 10

13 OPENING CLOSING * Isaiah 40:1-11" "!!!!!!!! PAT INGRAM Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that she has served her term, that her penalty is paid, that she has received from the Lord s hand double for all her sins. A voice cries out: In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. Then the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken. 12
14 A voice says, Cry out! And I said, What shall I cry? All people are grass, their constancy is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, when the breath of the Lord blows upon it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand for ever. Get you up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good tidings; lift up your voice with strength, O Jerusalem, herald of good tidings, lift it up, do not fear; say to the cities of Judah, Here is your God! See, the Lord God comes with might, and his arm rules for him; his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. He will feed his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms, and carry them in his bosom, and gently lead the mother sheep. 13
15 OPENING CLOSING OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS The people who walked in darkness! have seen a great light.! We look for light but find darkness,! For brightness, but walk in gloom.! We grope like those who have no eyes;! We stumble at noon as in the twilight. The people who walked in darkness! have seen a great light.! If I say, "Let only darkness cover me,! And the light about me be night,"! Even the darkness is not dark to you,! The night is bright as the day,! For darkness is as light with you. The people who walked in darkness! have seen a great light. 14
16 ! Blessed be your name, O God, for ever.! You reveal deep and mysterious things;! You are light and in you is no darkness.! Our darkness is passing away! And already the true light is shining. The people who walked in darkness! have seen a great light. 15
17 OPENING CLOSING 16
18 OPENING CLOSING * 2 Peter 3:8-15a Pat Ingram But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day. The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and everything that is done on it will be disclosed. Since all these things are to be dissolved in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in leading lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set ablaze and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire? But, in accordance with his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness is at home. Therefore, beloved, while you are waiting for these things, strive to be found by him at peace, without spot or blemish; and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation. So also 17
19 OPENING CLOSING #204!! Emmanuel, Emanuel! Emmanuel, Emmanuel,! his name is called Emmanuel. God with us, revealed in us, his name is called Emmanuel. 18
20 OPENING CLOSING Mark 1:1-8 The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way; the voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight, John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. And people from the whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem were going out to him, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Now John was clothed with camel s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. He proclaimed, The one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the thong of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit. 19

27 OPENING CLOSING 26 People, Look East
28 LABYRINTH Some of you may have been to a church or a retreat center that had a labyrinth on the grounds. Walking the labyrinth is a way of praying with the body that invites the divine presence into an active conversation with the heart and soul. The labyrinth is a sacred pattern that leads you on a prescribed path to its center and back out again. As we walk along, we are invited to take note of our journey, the twists and turns, as they mirror our personal spiritual walks. We invite you to embark upon this journey of prayerful wandering, but you certainly don t have to wait until your are standing at the opening of an actual life-sized labyrinth. Follow these steps and trace the labyrinth with your finger in order to focus your thoughts and open yourself up to the presence of God. First Movement: Releasing (Confession) Place your finger at the opening of the labyrinth. Pray silently prayer of confession. When finished, slowly move your finger forward along the labyrinth. Move at your own pace toward the center. Let the words of the prayer stay with you. Quiet your mind as you move through the labyrinth. Make room for emotions and stirrings that arise. What needs to be changed, forgiven, cleared, confronted, or 27
29 healed in your life? Offer these situations to God as you move forward. Second Movement: Receiving (Centering) When you reach the center, rest your finger there for a moment before you read a scripture reading for the day. When you are ready, read the passage slowly, as if you have never read it before. Center on Gods Word and be open to what God reveals to you through the reading. Return you finger to the center of the labyrinth and reflect on the passage and what it holds for you. Third Movement: Returning (Intercession) As you prepare to leave the labyrinth, place your finger at the same opening in the center where you entered. Now lift up your intercessory prayers for the day and when finished, begin to move your finger back along the same path on which you entered. Let the intercessory prayers stay with you, and add to them as you make the turns and move along the pattern back out of the labyrinth. Be mindful of people and circumstances in the world that are in need of your prayers. Hold each one in your heart for a part of the journey outward. When you have finished As you lift your finger from the labyrinths end, offer thanks to God. 28
