1 Sunday, December 4, nd Sunday of Advent 10:45 a.m. PREPARING OUR HEARTS FOR WORSHIP Indeed, one of us is tempted to think there is not much wrong with the church that could not be cured by God calling about a hundred really insensitive, uncaring, and offensive people into ministry. Stanley Hauerwas and William Willimon Because God challenges us to follow the teaching and example of Jesus Christ, we strive to be a warm, accepting family of worshipers and faith explorers who reach out to share Christ s love, support each other, and serve our community and world.

2 We Gather to Praise God PRELUDE In the Bleak Midwinter arr. Malcolm Archer (b. 1952) INTROIT WELCOME SILENCE AND RINGING OF THE BELL * CALL TO WORSHIP CALL AND LIGHTING OF ADVENT CANDLE from Matthew 3:2-3 ONE: Advent is a season of preparing and waiting Prepare the way of the Lord, make his ways straight. ALL: God, as we wait and prepare, teach us your way of repentance. * HYMN 8 Lift Up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates DRAW NEAR TO GOD S LOVE AND GRACE God of Advent, in the midst of a troubled and hurting world, we long for your voice. We seek hope, the promise of a new day. Yet we are captive to old ways, to the ways of the world. We respect power and influence, wealth and might. But John the Baptist appears on the edges of society, interrupts our Advent, reminds us that you move on the margins, away from power and influence. O God, we confess that we do not care for John or his call to repent. We re not ready to change our ways so they are more like yours. Forgive us. Heal our hearts and vision; help us to see you moving in the world. And help us to change, to live in new ways that proclaim you to the world. Silence for personal reflection SUNG RESPONSE * Please stand in body or spirit

3 RECEIVE GOD S LOVE AND GRACE * SING GLORY TO GOD * PASSING THE PEACE ONE: The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. ALL: And also with you. We Listen for God s Word SUNG PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION (sung twice) FIRST SCRIPTURE LESSON Isaiah 11:1-9 Page 640 ONE: The Word of the Lord. ALL: Thanks be to God. TIME WITH YOUNG DISCIPLES Rachel Clark SECOND SCRIPTURE LESSON Matthew 3:1-12 Page 2 ONE: The Word of the Lord. ALL: Thanks be to God. SERMON WHEN GOD STIRS James Sledge

4 We Respond to God s Word * HYMN 10 On Jordan s Bank the Baptist s Cry * PROFESSING OUR FAITH The Apostles Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE ONE: Lord, in your mercy, ALL: Hear our prayer. SHARING OUR FAITH Chuck Anderson OFFERING OUR GIFTS TO GOD Angels from the Realms of Glory arr. Reginald Jacques ( ) Chancel Choir Chamber Group * DOXOLOGY

5 SACRAMENT OF THE LORD S SUPPER Invitation to the Lord s Table Great Thanksgiving ONE: The Lord be with you. ALL: And also with you. ONE: Lift up your hearts. ALL: We lift them up to the Lord. ONE: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. ALL: It is right to give God thanks and praise. ONE: It is truly right Sanctus The Lord s Prayer 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 debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

6 Distribution of the Elements Communion is by intinction. Come forward by the outside aisles, take bread, dip it into the cup and eat, then return via the center aisle. Bread is gluten-free, cup is non-alcoholic, and yeastfree wafers are available. A tray with bread and cups will be brought to those who cannot come forward. And the Glory of the Lord from Messiah G.F. Handel ( ) POST COMMUNION PRAYER * HYMN 15 Rejoice! Rejoice, Believers * OUR LIFE TOGETHER AS THE BODY OF CHRIST * CHARGE AND BLESSING * CHORAL BENEDICTION POSTLUDE Savior of the Nations Come! arr. Wayne Wold (b. 1954) Songs reprinted under OneLicense.net #A The Prayers of the People are offered on behalf of and with the congregation.
