1 St. James United Church December 11, 2011 Minister: Rev. Bill Bartlett Minister of Visitation/MUN Chaplain Rev. Pamela Jones-Fitzgerald C.E. Lay Minister: Susan Sheppard Organist/Choir Director: Philip Roberts Assistant Organist: Allan Morgan Youth Choir/AOTS Doreen Brown White Gift Service Organ Prelude: Welcome: Introit: He Is Born Call To Worship: (unison) In the long night of the winter sky, a star. In the grunts and snorts and stampings of a stable, a baby s cry. In the wilderness beside the Jordan, a witness to the Light. See and hear and sense the signs, the signs of your call to be bearers of God s justice and peace. We hear your call, O God, and in love we answer. Prayer Of Approach: (unison) O Love Divine, on this third Sunday of Advent when everything seems to speed up, with the exception of our ability to keep up, draw near to us. Come close that we may feel your Presence and thus be reminded that what we are hurrying toward is somehow here already. Quiet our fretfulness for a few moments that we may feel cradled in the Love we seek, and thus be loving in our intentions, in our conversations, in our action. This we pray as we gather in community. Amen. Hymn: Joyful, Joyful We Adore You Lighting of the Advent Candle The Candle of Joy Today our sanctuary is adorned with a Christmas tree under which we will place many gifts. Reader 2: In the ancient world, evergreens were seen to have magical powers because they never lost their needles. Their green colour amid leafless and brown trees became a symbol of life. Legend tells us that the Christmas tree originated in Germany when a man, walking home one Christmas Eve, looked up through an evergreen tree and saw hundreds of stars twinkling like diamonds. He was so enthralled that he cut down the tree, took it home, and adorned it with lights in an effort to recreate this beauty and mystery for his sick child, who could not go outdoors to see it for herself. The Christmas tree came to North America in the 1800s with German immigrants and soon found itself at the centre of most Christmas celebrations. It is under the Christmas tree that we place our gifts. We give gifts to those we love as a sign of joy, the joy that comes from knowing that we are loved and accepted by God simply because God created us. Reader 2: Today we will place under our Christmas tree gifts wrapped in white following the tradition started by Mrs. Winters in These gifts are given out of love for others, those who are not known to us, but are known to and named by God. Knowing that God will take our gifts of love and use them where they are needed gives us great joy. We light this third candle to speak of our joy, a joy that comes from being God s people. Hymn: Hope is a Star (verse 3) 7 Presentation of White Gifts Christmas Is A Feeling Calypso Noel
2 Time with the children: -3- Carol: Away in a Manger 69 Solo: Gesu Bambino Kelsey Brown Life And Work of St. James: Offertory Invitation: (unison) With JOY, let us present offerings of commitment and support for the work of the church. We remember during this Advent season that there is room for everyone in God s kingdom. The smallest, the weakest, the least powerful are made welcome by our gifts. That happens through the work of our local church, our White Gifts and through the work of the United Church of Canada across our country and around the world, made possible by our gifts to the Mission and Service Fund -4- Pastoral Prayer: (unison) Many are struggling today O God bring us strength. Many are ill today O God bring us healing. Many are scared today O God bring us courage. Many are lost today O God bring us guidance. Many are looking for answers today O God bring us answers. Many are silent today O God be our voice. Many need to know you are there today O God hold us fast. Many have things we must say to you, many of us need a moment to listen for your voice O God, hear our prayers and in your love answer. The Lord s Prayer: Lullaby On A Silent Night Angels Carol Soloist Noah Sheppard Offertory: Sheep Fast Asleep Carol: Hark! the Herald Angels Sing 48 Offertory Carol: In the Bleak Mid Winter (verse 4) 55 Offertory Prayer: Gracious and loving God, in JOY we offer these gifts and those given through PAR to continue to fulfill the mandate of the prophet Isaiah, to bring good news to the oppressed, encourage the broken hearted and proclaim liberty to those held in captivity. Amen Scripture: Isaiah 61: 1-4, The spirit of the Lord is upon me Christmas Gloria Do You Hear What I Hear? Gospel: John 1: 6-8, John testified to the Light Carol: I Am the Light of the World 87 Commissioning: Benediction: Let There Be Peace Soloist Joel Le Feuvre Organ Postlude: ***************************** Resources for today s service was taken from Gathering, Advent, Christmas and Epiphany ************************** Head Usher: Eric King Greeters: Eric and Roma Paul Ushers: Ruth Baker Grace Dean Oliver Wellon Daphne Coish Melvin Burt Betty Burt Don Blackmore

Into the December Darkness Blue Christmas In the context of the festive season, the darkness may heighten feelings of grief or sadness, pain or loneliness that may be associated with past experiences or present circumstances. Thus, Blue Christmas services have been developed as a pastoral response to this reality. The emphasis in such services is on quiet carols, scripture, and silence, recognizing that it is not necessarily or always a season of joy for everyone. It provides a place to deal with the fact that Christmas is difficult for many and it offers a time to reflect and deal with some of the less festive feelings. On Wednesday, December 21 at 7:30 pm a shared service of the four downtown Churches will be held at Wesley United Church Chapel. This is an Ecumenical Blue Christmas service. Everyone is welcome!
