THE GATHERING: Centering Words:

God’s arrival shakes everything up like a mighty earthquake or that first lightning bolt of love.

Prepare for change, for this isn’t just a season of waiting; this is a season of anticipating God breaking into our world once more with the dramatic gift of love

to define and shape our lives anew. ---Mary Scifres in “Words for Worship.”

This week in our prayers for the world let us remember especially the people of Liberia and Sierra Leone.

OPENING VOLUNTARIES “Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne” arr: Bill Wolaver “Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence” arr: Mark Hayes “Breath of Heaven” (Mary's Song) arr: Carol Tornquist As this music is offered as prayer, let us be sensitive to the Holy Spirit who prepares and opens us to connect with God in Christ today.

GREETING, SHARING NEWS OF THE CHURCH ALIVE Welcome, members, friends & visitors - please fill in the ritual of friendship pad, pass it to your neighbor, and then return it to its starting place. If you are new and would like more information, please indicate on the friendship pad and also stop at the Welcome Center in the narthex to pick up a Welcome packet.

PASSING OF THE PEACE OF CHRIST

CALL TO WORSHIP In every season of life, God is always with us, even when we believe otherwise. In this season of waiting, Jesus reminds us that Bethlehem is the beginning of our discipleship, not the end of the journey.

In this season of Advent anticipation and hope, the Spirit opens our ears to the songs of the angels. Come, let us worship! Praise the Lord!

HYMN No. 196 “Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus”

ADVENT CANDLE LIGHTING LITURGY 8:30 Lane Sullivan - 11:00 Adam Heuer

Advent is a season of waiting: waiting for the hope, peace, joy, and love of God to break into our lives anew through the story of the birth of Jesus, and through acts of hope, peace, joy, and love.

Advent is a season of lighting candles; lighting candles for the hope, peace, joy, and love for which we wait. Today we light the first candle, the candle of hope.

We wait not because we do not know the story of Jesus, and not be-cause you are not already and always here.

We wait because to wait is to expect something more. To wait is to ex-pect that the story might enter our hearts and our world in new ways, to bring the change for which we long.

---Light first candle (one of the blue) ---

As we light the candle of hope, we remember the stories of God with us, when life has been hard, and not what we expected. We can trust that God is with us, as we wait for the hope to be born, anew in us. Amen.

SONG No. 290 “Light the Advent Candle” verse 1

THE INVITATION

CONFESSION, ASSURANCE AND PARDON Holy God of Advent, You come near to us, Yet we continue to seal our hearts With indifference to a suffering world. Tear open our hearts so we might be more compassionate.

You approach us with bundles of mercy To kindle our hope, but we continue to build Our lives with bricks of bitterness. Tear open our anger, so we might become more forgiving.

You draw near, longing to embrace us, But we fold our arms, closing ourselves off From those all around us. Tear open our souls, so we might become children of Advent.

God, Shaper-of-our-lives,: Have mercy; Jesus, Word-which-does-not-pass-away: Fill us with your grace; Holy Spirit, Give-of-the-light-of-peace: Shine through our lives.

---Let all pray in silence---

Even now, God approaches us, mercy transcending anger, hope overcoming despair, life triumphing over death. This is good news, my friends; this is news of great joy for each of us.

Enriched in every grace, blessed with joy and hope, transformed by love, we will live as people of Advent. Thanks be to God. Amen!

PRAYER OF GREAT THANKSGIVING The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give our thanks and praise.

The pastor gives thanks, remembering God’s acts of salvation, and

concludes: And so, with your people on earth and all the company of heaven, We praise your name and join their unending hymn: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might. Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

The pastor continues and the institution of the Lord’s Supper is recalled. The pastor concludes:

And so, in remembrance of these your mighty acts in Jesus Christ,

We offer ourselves in praise and thanksgiving as a holy and living sacrifice,

in union with Christ’s offering for us, as we proclaim the mystery of faith. Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

The pastor invokes the present work of the Holy Spirit and concludes: All honor and glory is yours, Almighty God, now and forever. Amen!

There will be some coloring activities for the children to do in the pews while they wait for their turn to sing. If we see a need to wrap up with a group earlier than planned, we will have some other activities ready for them in another room. The children will all go to their regular dismissal rooms by 10:40.

First United Methodist Church Affirmation of Welcome

As a community of the people of God, we are called to minister to all people of the world, knowing that the world is often an unloving place of alienation and brokenness. Christ calls us to reconciliation and wholeness, as we are challenged by the Gospel to be agents of healing within our society.

We stand in affirmation with the apostle Paul that in Christ "there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female." Christ has made us one. We acknowledge that this reconciliation encompasses all within the community of faith who exhibit any and all differences in the human condition including, but not limited to: race, gender, ethnicity, age, culture, physical and mental ability, educational level, economic status, personality, marital status, sexual orientation and gender identity in response to the often hostile social climate with respect to diversity within our society and the resulting feelings of alienation from the Church, we wish to make known our caring and concern. It is for this purpose that we affirm the following:

all persons share the sacred worth that comes from being unique individuals created by God;

all persons are welcome within the membership of this congregation upon making affirmation of faith; and that as members of this congregation, all persons are invited and encouraged to share in the sacramental and general life of this congregation.
