4 Gospeler: The Gospel of the Lord. People: Praise to you, Lord Christ. Children s Church Passage of the Week Advent III Sermon (Silence to hear God speak.) Rev. Chris Bollegar The Nicene Creed (Please stand and profess together.) We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. Prayers of the People BCP, p. 387 (The Leader and People pray responsively.) Father, we pray for your holy Catholic Church; That we all may be one. Grant that every member of the Church may truly and humbly serve you; That your Name may be glorified by all people. Hearts unfold like flowers before thee opening to the Son above Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, drive the dark of doubt away Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day All Thy works with joy surround Thee, Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays Stars and angels sing around Thee, center of unbroken praise Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea Singing bird and flowing fountain call us to rejoice in Thee Thou art giving and forgiving ever blessing ever blest Wellspring of the joy of living ocean depth of happy rest Thou our Father Christ our Brother all who live in love are Thine Teach us how to love each other lift us to the joy divine Mortals join the mighty chorus which the morning stars began Father love is reigning o er us brother love binds man to man Ever singing march we onward victors in the midst of strife Joyful music lifts us Sunward in the triumph songs of life CCLI # Today s Servers Altar Guild: Bonita German Acolyte*/Chalice Ministers: Ted Thomas*, Eric Swanson, Wendy Thomas Lector (OT/Psalm): Judy Martin Lector (NT): Christine Drews Children's Church (Nursery/Big Kids): Melissa Balcerak, Hua Chen Music: Brian Gates & the HTAC Worship Team Prayer Teams: Judi Southwell & Debbie Swanson, Jane Beatty & Jan Allen Ushers: Dick Williamson, David Southwell Verger/Recorder: Nathan Hamilton Thank you for worshipping with us today!

King of kings, yet born of Mary, as of old on earth he stood, Lord of lords in human vesture, in the Body and the Blood He will give to all the faithful his own self for heavenly food. Rank on rank the host of heaven spreads its vanguard on the way,
