Pre-worship Music Gesú Bambino  Praise Band
O gracious and holy God, give us diligence to seek you, wisdom to perceive you, and patience to wait for you. Grant us a mind to meditate on you; eyes to behold you; ears to listen for your word; a heart to love you; and a life to proclaim you; through the power of the Spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Gathering Song God Welcomes All  Hymn #399
ONE: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, God who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. In humility and faith let us confess our sin to God.
ALL: Merciful God, we confess that we have not loved you with our whole heart. We have failed to be an obedient church. We have not done your will, we have broken your law, we have rebelled against your love, We have not loved our neighbors, and we have refused to hear the cry of the needy. Forgive us, we pray. Free us for joyful obedience; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Welcoming My Peace  Rev. Thelma King
The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting. I declare to you in the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven. May the God of mercy who forgives you all your sins strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life.

Life of the Church Mary Did You Know?  Lynn Hamilton
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.

Passing of the Peace Come, Christians Join to Sing  Congregation
Who are we Lord God, that you should come to us? Yet you have visited your people and redeemed us in your Son. As we prepare to celebrate his birth, make our hearts leap for joy at the sound of your word, and move us by your Spirit to bless your wonderful works. We ask this through him whose coming is certain, whose day draws near, your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen


Prelude Lift Up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates  Praise Band
READER: We are people of love. God has loved us so much that God has chosen to come as Immanuel, the God who is with us.
ALL: We are free to love others because God first loved us.
READER: The fourth candle of Advent invites us to reflect GoddString
